Skipping Stones Design October Blog Hop

Hi Everyone,

its blog hop time at Skipping Stones Designs.
You probably arrived from the SSD blog.



I used that wonderful bird from the set Best of Birds
I used PP for my background. I stamped the sentiment twice  - once on white card stock and the second time on the PP. No problems to do that with my Misti. I colored the bird with Inktense pencils. Added some white gel pen accents. Added a strip of brown card stock on the left hand side.



Your next stop on the hop is Debra - she has an amazing card waiting for you.
In case you get lost - just go back to Skipping Stones Design and you'll find the complete list there.

Here is the complete line-up:
Cornelia - you are here
Jessie
Debra   
Martha
Tanja

Of course, we have a blog candy. It will be a stamp set of the winners choice. The winner will be announced next Friday. In order to win you must subscribe to the SSD blog and like our Facebook page. You also must leave a comment on each blog. For extra entries you can follow our blogs.

Oooh, a very autumnal feel for this clever card. Love the double stamping of the sentiment and coloring on your pretty bird. The whole look is lovely.

The addition of the brown strip
on the side anchors the limb to
something outside of the card.
The bird is colored great.
thanks for sharing a wonderful card.
Schaut richtig klasse aus!
Ich war ein paar Tage nicht online, muss jetzt alles nachholen ;)
Liebe Grüße und ein schönes Wochenende

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!
