Cornelia playing with Oldies, but Goodies



Hi Everyone, Cornelia is back playing with some of the older STAMPlorations sets today! 
I used one of my favorite techniques - sponging and one of my favorite gadgets to make those cards - the Stamp-a-majig.


So, lets get started - I masked white card stock with post it notes - I like to do this an a grid pad, to get my lines straight. I used a Kaleidocolor inkpad for this card - in my opinion you can use any kind of ink for sponging - I have used them all with similar results. I basically just pick the colors I like.....



As you can see - I went with yellow and green.


I stamped the little number stamp on the clear plastic sheet that comes with the Stamp-a-majig, using Versafine ink (my favorite)


This way your stamping stays very exact:


Next I stamped the daisy and heat embossed it with superfine WOW embossing powder - I like the detail of that powder.


I then colored the daisy - also in yellow and green, but used my Brushos for that - sprinkling a few crystals on a clear acrylic block and using a water brush.


Added the sentiment and a few stitched lines and cut out the daisy.
I mounted the daisy with foam tape and added some Stickles to the center.



Here is a similar card I made, except that I stamped the heart strip on colored card stock and added some Washi tape:

Wow you are so creative Cornelia...I had to really look hard to see how you had used the patchwork frenzy stamp in the first card! Where do you come up with such clever and funky uses of stamps! And these second cards are stunning and again such creative ways to use Shery's stamps and fabulous inspiration for us x

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.
