Sending Hugs

Hi Everyone,

you may know that tags are not my forte - in general I try to stay away from them.....but I tried it again, putting them on a card.



First I used an old TCW Stencil and embossing paste, colored with Gelatos. The tags are a Mama Elephant die. The dandelion is an old Hero Arts stamp -one of my favorites - I do LOVE dandelions. The Kraft paper I die cut with a Simon Says die, as is the sentiment. the stamped sentiment is from the matching SSS stamp set. Given my limited experience with tags I am happy with the result.

Had a smile reading that tags are not your forte, Cornelia ... me neither, I avoid them! However, if this card is anything to go by, you should move them into your forte category! It's simply gorgeous ... the colours are beautiful together, I love that dotty background and oh my, that dandelion clock ... just beautiful! Anita :)
cm said…
"Tags are not your forte" you say? Hmmm...I respectfully disagree, because you've created magic with the one you used here! Beautiful colour, beautiful image (dandelion puffs make me smile...); beautiful dotted background. I agree with Anita...move 'tags' into your 'forte' repertoire...
Hugs~c

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
