STAMPlorations Inspiration #85

Hi Everyone,
its inspiration time at STAMPlorations!


My stamp supplies:
PartyGirl-web-preview  preview-BeccaCruger_StrongWomen  FloralBliss-preview
Party Girl, Strong Women, Floral Bliss

Stamped the images - did some masking, of course and water colored the background. Made the City silhouette with water colors as well and then did some direct to paper inking over my background. Added thin black strips on both sides.




At our  Inspiration Project posts have a monthly random drawing - 1 commenter wins a $10 gift certificate. So look at all those fabulous cards the Inspiration Girls made and leave them some love! It may pay off :)

Linking up with:
Challenge up your life - water colors

Happy Stamping!

Wow, AGAIN! The background is beautiful, moody and crazy cool. Love the way you built on the sentiment. It's a wonderful encouragement card and using the frame and reflection is perfect for giving someone a boost to their ego.

Der Hintergrund ist klasse. Und die Dame im Spiegel - darauf muss man erst mal kommen. Allerdings muss ich sagen, das Set lädt gerade dazu ein. Super gemacht.
Liebe Grüße

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...

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.
