HLS and ATSM


Hi Everyone,

I finally had time to try out the faux mother of pearl technique featured over at Happy Little Stampers. I can tell you - it is fantastic! Super easy and the outcome is guaranteed to please!


Although I am not sure my card is CAS enough...but I like it!!! The butterflies are by HLS, the die cut, stitched die and sentiment are by Simon Says Stamps.
On this photo you can see the wonderful shimmer better:

Happy Stamping!

Those colours and the shine from the technique is fabulous. So very pretty and looks great with the butterflies.

Ooooh. The mother of pearl technique really glows on your card. Of course, your color choices are superb...you have such an eye for design. Think it is CAS enough. White space can be any color.

Hello Cornelia, Happy Easter! Your card is so beautiful. I love the deep blue background and technique of faux Mother of Pearl, which makes the background look like marble. Butterflies make the card simply come to life.
Hugs, BozenA

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.

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!

Or you can see the same thing on my photo tutorial. With mirror
