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:

Used stamp sets:

PATCHWORK FRENZY: Graphic Squares

PATCHWORK FRENZY: Graphic Pentagons

Bloom Sketches: Daisy 2

SENTIMENT BUILDERS: Thank You

Pull out your oldies and have fun! Thanks for visiting me today!

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...

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.
