You are my Most Favorite

Hi Everyone,

Conil from Which Craft? inspired me to play along with the Ellen Hudson pin sights challenge. She made the most gorgeous card - you have to go over and see it! Initially I was not thrilled about the colors - a bit drab....but after seeing her card I gave it a try.


I made the background paper with water color. Added the sentiment (Neat&Tangled) and the die cuts (Ellen Hutson)

 As you can see, I also added some splatters, Washi tape and enamel dots. My husband thought its too busy. Perhaps he is right.


I think its okay - it does not always have to be CAS, right?

Happy stamping!

No really doesn't have to be CAS and I love it! Gorgeous how you've used the colours, the water coloured striped background and all the elements make one fabby card....Maybe we shouldn't always show our Husbands our finished card...That's caught me out before too. Had a little chuckle about that x

Hi Cornelia!

Anything you make is always great in my book. I suspect your beloved hubs is used to more CAS cards from you - this one is lovely with the little more detail for a change.

Ha! Now try vintage to send him running for the hills! :)

Hugs

Schon witzig, dass wir gleich hintereinander gepostet haben! Deine Karte ist toll! Nicht CAS, das stimmt, aber du "darfst" ja auch mal was anderes probieren... ;) Ich mag die Streifen!

I think it was a matter of opinion, it doesn't look too busy to me...it looks spectacular. Honestly gorgeous. Initially,wasn't sure about the colors myself, so kind of ignored them. But yous has incorporated them all and beautifully. Thanks so much for the shout out, it's much appreciated.

I think it's a great card from difficult colours - they wouldn't be what I chose off hand! I don't think it's too busy at all either. I love the streaks of blue on the background mixed with the gold down the side. xx

Just spotted your response to my comment - sniggering here! Why not link up into the Playground - now I BET that CAS die I have on offer as a prize would meet with the Bosses approval :)

Been to dentist today for a back tooth filling - why do I now feel my grin is as wide as a Muppet's? :(

Not too busy at all, Cornelia ... rather spectacular, actually ... you've worked magic with that colour palette ... the soft watercolour stripes, the shimmer and that gorgeous gold combine to make such a delicious card! Hugs, Anita :)

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
