Thank You with Leaves

Hi Everyone,

I am taking a break from making DT cards and I am just playing with some of my neglected supplies.


I made this card with stamps and dies by Papertrey - the dies are NBUS. They have been collecting dust for at least a year - what a shame! The whole card is made from snippets - an old (dusty) water colored background, that I did not like, but thought it might be useful one day, the leave outlines - leftover strips of watercolor paper and the butterflies - again left overs from a prior card.


Of course I am playing in some challenges:

Color Throwdown 
Inspired By All The Little Things
Snippets Playground - use a snippet


 

Happy Stamping!

Yay a for using your NBUS! I have the exact same thanks stamp from ME and as soon as I saw this I knew I had to visit because it's given me some ideas on what to do with it. I love the dies and that you've used lots of odds and ends that have been lying around. Perfect for the snippets playground :) xx

Oh, die ist aber schön geworden! Gut, dass du den Hintergrund abgestaubt hast, denn er sieht sehr gut so aus! Und die Schriftzüge machen sich sehr gut hinter den Blättern!

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...
