Colour me.....! #61

Hi Everyone, I am playing at 
Colour me......! My GDT stint is over - I had such a great time, I wanted to play again!
This time its monochromatic orange. I got inspired by Laura Bassen - who does not get inspired by her??? And made this card:



I finally used my Mama Elephant set Trifecta, that I had forever in my stash. I adore it! Why I did not use it so far???NO idea.... Heat embossed the triangles in clear and sloshed watercolor on it. Let it dry and added the sentiment by Simon Says stamps


Added some white accents with a white Sharpie. Also added sequins and rounded the corners. 
Linking up with :
Virginia's view - all things embossed
Seize the Birthday - anything birthday, option masculine

March Challenge: All Things Embossed


And lastly I wanted to share this with you:


See all that white stuff????? It has been accumulating over the last weeks and got some boost on Wednesday......but I believe on Sunday spring will arrive here! No more shoveling until next winter....

Ooh, sloshing - love the card! Can't imagine having to deal with that much snow. Everything grinds to a halt over here if we get more than an inch of snow!

Is it just me or has the title picture of your blog changed?? I'm so half asleep most of the time I don't pick up on many things but just looked at it now and thought 'wow'! I love EVERYTHING about Laura Bassen and your CASE of her card is brilliant! It even makes me like orange, which is a colour I never use but is growing on me of late. And I must say, your house looks so beautiful and is the type of house I've always dreamed of living in. Bet its even more beautiful on the inside. Hope your not still covered in snow!

Hi Cornelia, love the snowy pics! It's so fun to see the "real world" from online crafters. Your card is gorgeous, as always. I really like that you contained the ink to the centre area and left a white border. Also, that two-tone sentiment is to die for! So glad to see you playing at Colour Me! :) Julia

Addicted to Stamps and More #134 and Spotlight Sneak Peek

Hi Everyone, Its challenge time at  ATSM ! For the next two week its going to be CAS - just my thing! And hopefully yours, too! I made a birthday card, because for some reason I always need more and never seem to have enough.... I was inspired by this weeks Make it Monday , where the talented  Ashley Newell  shows us a video about  stamps and doodling. Since I  mainly own die cuts from Papertrey and not so many stamps that would fit this theme I made my own out of fun foam, using my latest Papertrey dies (just got the order a few days ago) and cut those in fun foam - it works so well - voila - you have our own stamps, spending only a fraction of the money! I doodled around the stamps as you can see. Gives you kind of a cool effect....a little more tremor and one would think I drank too much ;) Added tiny enamel dots - do you know about this month House of Cards challenge - its enamel dots - thought I'll let you know..... Our wonderful spons...

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...
