Guest Designer at the Muse!

I could not believe it when Ardyth emailed me and offered me to be guest designer for this weeks Muse challenge! Of course I said yes - I am still excited about it! So I thought hard about what to do and came up with this card:




I wanted something totally different and also open for interpretation. It actually was really easy to make. I have some cheap bottles of acrylic paint at home. I used yellow, orange, green and neon pink and made some strips across the card. Then I took my trusty cake decorating tool (you can see it HERE), flattened the paint and went up and down in a zig zag motion. 
I used watercolor paper - regular paper warped too much. Once the paint was dry I stamped the sentiment over it - STAMPlorations sentiment builder Happy

Added some black splatters.



I hope you like it and I inspired you to play along!

I am also adding this card to the Bizzy Becs challenge - Anything goes

GRATULIERE!!!!! Noch dazu hast du eine wunderbare Karte für diese Geschichte gemacht!!!
Mein Kleid ist im Müll gelandet und ich bin losgezogen, um eines zu kaufen. Na ja, es ist ein Kompromiss, ich weiß auch noch nicht, ob ich nicht ein weiteres in Augenschein nehmen soll, sprich erwerben werde. Das, was mir dann am besten gefällt ziehe ich zur Hochzeit dann an. Zum Glück ist noch etwas Zeit.

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it. And here is a close -up: Challenges: Dynamic Duos CAS Colours and Sketches Addicted to Stamps and More Amusing Challenges Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die. --X-- Card for Maddy: You may know already about  Maddy ,  who  was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fiftee...

Mirror Image Stamping with So Suzy and the MISTI

Hi Everyone, I am so happy to be part of this wonderful event - the collaboration between So Suzy and the MISTI from My Sweet Petunia doing mirror image stamping.  This event is going on for the ENTIRE  MONTH! We are demonstrating the  Mirror Image Stamp    which coordinates with the Misti Stamping Tool! All month long, different bloggers will post a card using the  Mirror Image Stamp .  In my tutorial today, I will show you how use the  Mirror Image Stamp  on your cards. You can basically double your stamp supplies that way! The  mirror image stamp  is  a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of red rubber with no foam backing. So much larger than the other mirror image stamps out there and therefore much more useful!
