Season's Greetings

Hi Everyone,

another Christmas card - I am getting them done early this year :)

This card was inspired by the challenge Jen Shurkus from Creative Chick and Audrey Tokatch from Pink Originals are running on their blogs - called the coolest Card Series. What fun! The requirements are always snow, combined with something else like stencil, watercolor etc. Now this card uses both a stencil AND watercolor and SNOW - so perhaps it qualifies for both??? But I'll be putting it into the stencil category



I water colored my background, stamped the crazy bird, water colored him and added snow with a Simon Says stencil. The sentiment is also Simon Says, die cut with fun foam.


I am also linking up with:
Christmas Card challenge - see colors below
ATSM - Holiday
Cards und More - Waldbewohner/woodland animals

    

The snow here is melting fast - although not on my card :)

Happy Stamping!

Gorgeous watercolouring, Cornelia ... that crazy bird is just so fun ... love how he's gazing up at the snow ... he looks a bit bewildered by it all! Hugs, Anita :)

The fun foam gives great dimension to your die cut greeting Cornelia. I have tons of the stuff in a drawer and never use it.

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) fiftee...

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!
