Love that you used three different techniques for the backgrounds. Great vibrant colours and the black silhouette birds look great against them x Yes funny how the dark background layer looks different ...all look fabulous though x

What gorgeous backgrounds, every one of them, Cornelia! I'm inspired to go through my stash and look for some nice silhouette dies to try this with, though my guess is I'm going shopping! Thanks so much for sharing with us this week at The Paper Players!

I love all these cards. I love oxygen backgrounds, they are so colorful and juicy. I most like the card with flower stencil in the background. She is unique!

Your backgrounds are beautiful! I like the way the colour and sentiment change the mood of each card slightly. Thank you so much for joining us at The Paper Players this week.

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.
