A Bird and a Hippo

Hi Everyone, 

you probably are thinking now I that I am completely crazy, but don't worry, I'm not....
I made this card specifically for my blogging friend Carol from Just me: c, after she left me a real funny blog comment about the birds being larger than hippos in her part of the world...never mind that she lives in Canada and they ain't havin' hippos there, chuckle...


Used one of those crazy birds by Tim Holtz. The sentiments are by Stamplorations - Noteworthy and Hero Arts. Also used one of the Mixed Media Grunge stamps. The hippo is by Rubber soul.
The colors I got from Colour me....! - see below. Added splatters, of course.

Love the story about your card, Cornelia! That's the awesome thing about being a stamper, is the ability to custom create cards. Super cute and I'm sure your friend will just love it! Thanks for playing along with us this week at Colour Me!

Hahahaha...You are AWESOME and I LOVE, LOVE and LOVE your bird-bigger-than-the hippo card! I kid you not: the ravens here ARE as big as hippos and even worse, they have 'face recognition.' So, those people who try to shoo them away, guaranteed their cars will be, shall we say, "splattered". True story! Anyway, I adore this marvelous creation and I'm exponentially touched my comment sparked your inspiration! You're a gem, my friend! Hugs and love coming your way...

Da ist dir mal wieder eine "Kicherkarte" gelungen. Ich musste herzhaft kichern!!! diese beiden Tiere haben so (fast) gar nichts gemeinsam - und vertragen sich doch.
Schönen Sonntag, liebe Grüße,
Flo

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! Mirror Image stamp ,  Two Cats in a Tree If you want a video tutorial on how to do this I can highly recommend you watch THIS VIDEO on youtube. Explains it all in very little time! Or you can see the same thing on my photo tutorial. With mirror
