Color Throwdown #474

Hi Everbody,

I saw Michele Ferguson's card on Instagram and knew I had to play along with Color Throwdown this week. thank you Michele, you are such an enabler!


I pulled out my neglected Winter Woods set from Papertrey to make this card.
The birds are a little tricky to stamp - as most layering stamps are, but I managed.

This is this weeks amazing inspiration picture:


As you can see, I basically just copied it.....I popped up the birds with foam tape and added Washi on the side.


Those are unusual colors for me, since I generally like it bright and colorful, but I am always up for a good challenge!

Bin ich wirklich auf Cornelia's blog? Wo sind die knalligen Farben??? Nun mal ehrlich - hat es weh getan, mit dieser neutralen Palette zu arbeiten? ;) Du hast es jedenfalls geschafft und die Karte sieht sehr schön aus! Mein Kompliment!

Boy, this is a departure from your style but, nonetheless, it is gorgeous. Restful and you've lined up the layers perfectly. After seeing Michele's entry, I can definitely see how your were inspired. Think yours looks amazing.

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. 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...

Mirror Image Stamping with So Suzy and the MISTI

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! Mirror Image stamp ,  Two Cats in a Tree If you want a video tutorial on how to do this I can highly recommend you watch THIS VIDEO on youtube. Explains it all in very little time! Or you can see the...
