Joyful Sponging


Hi, its Cornelia again
 with another sponged Christmas card and this wonderful stampset - Joyful. 








I stared out selecting some of the sentiments from the set and stamped a border with them. I also stamped the gift box and fuzzy cut it.


Used Copics to color the box


I then masked the side along the sentiment border


  and sponged it with distress inks.


Lastly I cut a thin strip of gold foil paper and glued it onto the sponged area.


I mounted the gift box with foam tape and added glossy accents to the ornaments.

Happy Sponging!

This card is great! I love the words along the side and the colours you used. The added strip of gold really sets it off! I love that STAMPlorations set. It's on my wish list. :-)

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.

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...
