25 Days of ChristmasTags at Muse Christmas Visions

Hi Everyone,

Muse Christmas Visions is tagging along - haha, pun intended with Tracey McNeely's wonderful 25 Days of Christmas Tags.
Image may contain: text that says '25 Days of Christmas Tags inmyereativeopinion.blogspot.ca'
Our theme for the current MCV challenge is Botanical. I am sure that will come easy to most of you!


I am not a big fan of tags, so this is challenging for me....
It is what it is, right? At least I got the theme right.
I used card stock I had previously used as spray guard and die cut my botanical elements (Papertrey). Added them onto a Kraft tag and splattered white paint onto it.
No automatic alt text available.

I also added clear Nuvo drops onto the berries, to add some shine.



I hope you will find time to play along with us at MCV. Link up your tag as well as link to Tracy's' blog.
There is a lot of prizes up for grabs thanks to all those wonderful sponsors, see below:

Great use of the spray guard card to cut the botanical elements. Love the non traditional colour of the blue holly, the Kraft card and the splats. You might not be a fan of tags but you sure have made a beautiful one here X

What a great tag Cornelia, love these die cuts. A beautiful tag.
I love the infusion of the gorgeous blue tones in your tag, Cornelia. This is very sweet and inspiring, and the colors compliment one another so nicely.
Blessings,

This is so pretty, Cornelia! I love that you reused your spatter guard to make such fun botanical elements.

Cool tag! What a great use of some leftover cardstock. The botanical elements are so colorful, especially the blue. I love that you formed them into a wreath. Great job!

The sprayed colours add such a great sense of texture to the greenery around the delicate sentiment, Cornelia ... who'd have known this was challenging to you ... it's as brilliant as ever! Hugs, Anita :)

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!

Or you can see the same thing on my photo tutorial. With mirror
