Amazing Birthday

Hi Everyone,

I actually made this card for last weeks Less is More challenge (it was dimension) - just to find out Mr. Linky was expired.....but to my great delight Less is More for this week has OMBRE as its theme - how perfect is that?!


Believe it or not, but this card is perfectly flat - I just exaggerated the 3-D effect with my colors. I first stenciled on white paper and added clear embossing paste. After the paste was dry I sponged with different (mainly darker) colors over the white grid lines. The embossing paste resists the additional sponged colors. If you want to make something like it - go to iStencil and check out their amazing selection of stencils. The one I used, you can find HERE or HERE

49-00005 R

The die is by STAMPlorations and the little birthday stamp is by Papertrey

Now that was lucky with the LIM challenge. Just fabulous colouring and colours. Great technique with the clear embossing paste as a slight resist. Also love how you've angled the black die cut sentiment to emphasize the underneath of the sphere. Clever and fun x

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.

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) fifteen year old sister Melanie.  She now has a relapse and this car
