Water

Hi Everyone,

this is again one of my last minute entries - my specialty ;), in case you don't know that....

I have to play with the current Mod Squad challenge - the theme is water. The main reason however is not the theme I admit, but the challenge sponsor - THE Ryn Tanaka from Designs by Ryn.

I had been thinking about her stamps needing some ink and now I have a perfect excuse to pull them out.....


Made a water color background. Die cut a circle from it. Stamped the bubbles, die cut the Koi (Memory Box) and did my little color lifting trick to make the bubbles more 3D-ish. Die cut the fish again from some leftover piece of water colored card stock and glued them in, just a bit off-set to give it more interest. Added the sentiment, which is by Clearly Besotted stamps. 


My long time blog follower probably know that I am a big fan of Ryn's, but then - who isn't? Her water droplet stamps are just fabulous and an all time favorite of mine!

The realism here is awesome. Perfect use of Ryn's stamps. Love koi anyway but allowing them to swim around in this wonderfully designed water has to make them happy...it sure makes me happy.

Aw, thanks so much for what you wrote Cornelia! You made me smile :) Love the watercolour effect that you got with the bubbles and the circular design. I feel like I'm looking down into a koi pond. Beautiful piece!

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) fiftee...

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...
