Guest Designing at Colour me....! challenge #58

Hi Everyone, this is my second week for guest designing at colour me....! this month! I am sure you are familiar with this fun color challenge by now. For this week we have this beautiful inspiration picture for you - just right for Valentine's Day. 
Its pink and red, combined with a neutral color:

I settled for this beautiful Memory Box  - Butterfly delights.


I sponged each wing in pink and also brushed it with Wink of Stella, but that is really hard to see in the picture...The die cuts words are Papertrey and I added some sequins from  Neat&Tangled.
I mounted the white cardbase on red cardstock.
Here is another view of my card:


Now go and play and hopefully I 'll see you linking up with us!

And don't forget to check out the amazing DT cards - so much inspiration over there!

How gorgeous! I've seen this die used a few times but never like this with the wing tips coloured. Its a genius idea and so effective.

So pretty, Cornelia ... inking the edges of the butterflies was a stroke of genius ... they're just lovely! Anita :)

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) fifteen year old sister Melanie.  She now has a relapse and this car

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!

Or you can see the same thing on my photo tutorial. With mirror
