Hidden Message

Hi,

some challenges just appeal to me and I have to play.....this was the case with the challenge going on at Shopping our Stash, which I stumbled upon somehow.....the theme is Hide and Seek - put a hidden element on your card. Ans since I am still in full blown Valentine's mood - that gallery I am selling my cards at here locally has asked for some.....I made one for Valentine's Day:


I punched out the tiny envelope (an ancient Marvy punch) and the hearts. The latter are from paint chips - give you perfect color coordination, although in the photo the smallest heart does not look darker, but it is...
The swirl is by Papertrey - Happy Trails, the you is by Avery Elle.
The hearts are dangling on a sliver thread and you can pull them out to reveal....


Not really a surprise......

This is for Tami - I can't find your blog address...The envelope punch is from Marvy. Its and ancient punch and I don't know if you still can buy it. If not, I would try ebay.

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...
