It's Raining!

Hi Everyone,

again, I lucked out combining challenges...
As soon as I saw the inspiration picture over at Inkspirational I knew I needed to play with them. and then things just fell into place.
Less is More wants lots of white space, but no white
Just us Girls wants raindrops
and Sparkle and Shine offers an umbrella, although theirs has colorful polka dots, oh well, mine does not.


Here is that cool photo:


I took that cool umbrella stamp from Joy Clair, did some masking and sponging on grey card stock. The raindrops are by Impression obsession and the sentiment is by Papertrey.


So, what  do you think - is that a perfect coincidence???


It's not raining now, but its coming - so - keep stamping!

Don't you just love it when that happens? The most perfect card for the challenges. The bold yellow and black photo inspiration is so striking and no wonder you wanted to join in. Absolutely fabulous take and would never have thought to start on the grey card, so thank you for the inspiration x Great sentiment too.

Well, this is just plain genius!!! You explained how you did it, but I still can't figure out how you did the raindrops and colored the umbrella and boots. I love this so much, great take on the challenge. Thanks so much for playing along with us this week at Just Us Girls!!

Co-incidence or not, its one amazing card, Cornelia! The yellow stands out so well on the grey and the grey depicting a storm and the sentiment suits perfectly,- that's just one beautiful card!

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

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
