Two Masculine Cards

Hi Everyone,

I am still in Father's Dy card mood and what better to use than those funky crazy birds bu Tim Holtz. This one I dressed up with a top hat and brad glasses. The colors are from the current Male Room challenge - see below. 



I used watercolor paper and water colors and of course those splatters - they have to be there... The sentiments are a combination of CASual Friday stamps and Studio G stamps.

Addicted to CAS - animal

And now I have a second card to share - made them with my brand new Winnie and Walter stamps. I wanted to play in their challenges now for a long time, but had no supplies...finally Anita from My Papercraft World pushed me over the edge, I caved in and got myself some goodies :))))


All stamps are by W&W - the "wishes" sentiment is fuzzy cut and heat embossed in silver. the geometric pattern at the bottom half is heat embossed in clear. Left a small strip of white card stock at the top and left side of the card and rounded a corner, some sequins and that' its.

In case you are wondering how I came up with this - I was inspired by chewing gum. Yep. Chewing gum - see this:


Saw it while grocery shopping last week and though this would be a great card to make....and bought it just for that reason...That design I may have to use again, but my W&W supplies did not include any circles...

You have really outdone yourself today, Cornelia! Your first card is so fun...LOVE how you colored and added glasses to the Crazy Bird! I also love your 2nd card! Clear embossing on black looks amazing and I love the geometric patten on the star...very cool! How fun that a pack of gum inspired this card...WOW!
Guten Morgen Cornelia,
die komischen Vögel sind absolut dein Ding. Aber die schwarze Karte ist der Hammer, ganz ganz großartig.
Deine Ideen - wo auch immer die her kommen ;)))) sensationell.

How elegant and dapper is that crazy bird with his top hat and glasses, Cornelia ... he's so fun! Oh my ... your geometric delight ... stunning, gorgeous, brilliant! The clear embossed borders are fabulous and I LOVE that star with the coloured facets! Thanks so much for the shout out ... I'm thinking being pushed over the edge was definitely 'A Good Thing'!! Anita :)

Awesome x 2, Cornelia! Your bird is quite the handsome gent, sporting his specs and top hat. Your second card: holy moley! Impressive in every way! If this is the result of being 'pushed over the edge', well, you've sure landed on your feet in exceptional style! WOW!

Your chewing gum packet inspired geometric card is just awesome! I love how the elements are clustered and how you kept the card from being too bold by not heat embossing the main faceted pattern! Thanks for spreading The Gossip on w&w's The Gossip Column!

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.
