of course, this is the ONE stencil I DON'T own--next on my list to buy---love those paintbrush stripes. I think I'm going to be casing your card which of course is casing Vijaylaxmi Siyal (Shalu)

I meant stamp set. I have most of the others in this artsy collection. Thanks for clarifying.

What a lovely time I've spent catching up with all your creativity over the last few weeks or so, Cornelia ... such a fabulous array of inspiration! Sorry it's not possible for me to comment on each one (you'd be waiting forever!)... I did love the big splats for your daughter's card (congratulations to her getting to grad school in Munich) ... that kaleidoscope of butterflies was stunning ... and this beauty is just so bold and dramatic ... gorgeous! Hoping (!) to stay up to date now!! Hugs, Anita :)

My dear Cornelia! I have NOT been ignoring your gallery; indeed, I have left comments on pretty much all your amazing cards, but a stroll back shows they haven't been sticking! Between blogger's shenanigans and our internet malfunctions, I'm about ready to pull out my hair! The plus side of checking on my comment status is seeing your fabulous creativity for a second go-round! So much inspiration and ingenuity that you've wiped away my weather-induced feeling of gloom (yet again a thunderstorm warning day!) and replaced it with mega-watt smiling. Your interpretation of Shalu's card: striking and gorgeous! I have that rose and still, it awaits a play date. You've given me incentive to bring it out...
Hugs~c (hopefully this internet/blogger fiasco will right itself soon!)

An unusual card! I love these very beautiful roses - you had it painted. I love your belt, it's a very creative treatment card inspiration. Another great card and great inspiration for us.
Hugs,
BożenA

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.

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!

Or you can see the same thing on my photo tutorial. With mirror
