The Challenge

Hi Everyone,

seriously did you think I could bypass that stunning inspiration photo from The Challenge???
No way!!!


Just took me a while to think how to convert the image into a card.
Today I figured it out. Took that fun die cut from Poppy Stamps, did some sponging and inlaid die cutting. I could not settle on a sentiment, so I left it blank, for future use.



Here is the photo:

You did not think, that I would throw out the negative die cuts and those little pieces, did you? No, of course I made a second card with it:


Here I added a little THANKS in the corner, its from CASual Fridays.

Happy Stamping!

Fabulous take on the challenge - I love the CAS design and the bright colours. I like leaving cards blank too, you never know when one might come in handy! Xx

So I thought that this challenge you will definitely not let go of :-) These colors are after your the hallmarks! I'm glad to see your unusual interpretation of the images. I was wondering how did the mixing of colors in a mixed area, but as I had read post to the end everything became clear :-) Thank you for the inspiration.
hugs,

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

Addicted to Stamps and More #134 and Spotlight Sneak Peek

Hi Everyone, Its challenge time at  ATSM ! For the next two week its going to be CAS - just my thing! And hopefully yours, too! I made a birthday card, because for some reason I always need more and never seem to have enough.... I was inspired by this weeks Make it Monday , where the talented  Ashley Newell  shows us a video about  stamps and doodling. Since I  mainly own die cuts from Papertrey and not so many stamps that would fit this theme I made my own out of fun foam, using my latest Papertrey dies (just got the order a few days ago) and cut those in fun foam - it works so well - voila - you have our own stamps, spending only a fraction of the money! I doodled around the stamps as you can see. Gives you kind of a cool effect....a little more tremor and one would think I drank too much ;) Added tiny enamel dots - do you know about this month House of Cards challenge - its enamel dots - thought I'll let you know..... Our wonderful spons...
