Sprout

Hi Everyone,

sorry for the second post today, but I really wanted to play in this week's CASology challenge and the time is almost up....


the cue word is SPROUT. I had the perfect stamp for this (for years, literally...) and  its NBUS. So you know why I needed to play....Believe it or not, but it took me 3 tries before I was happy with it. CAS is not always easy to achieve....I think you have all been there.....


The delightful bean sprout stamp is by 100 Proof Press and the sentiment is by Rubber Necker. I sponged the background, stamped the sprout and colored it with a Faber Castell Marker. Added the black splatters for extra interest and some white gel pen accents.

Der Spruch auf deiner Karte trifft den Nagel auf den Kopf (wie das fast immer bei Sprüchen so ist, aber nur, wenn sie passend eingesetzt werden, wie bei dir!!!) Das Pflänzchen scheint in seiner sonnigen Umgebung gut zu wachsen und gedeihen.
Liebe Grüße

You definitely were right when you said you had the perfect stamp but what you did with it makes this the perfect CASology card. You have such a terrific eye for design...in other words, "perfect".

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.

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
