Twofer Challenge #13

Hi Everyone,

I am playing again in the Twofer challenge  - the current theme is STARS.

No problem, I have lots of those. Since now stencils are on the allowed list I decided to go with this beautiful Memory Box stencil - if I remember correctly it has never seen the light of day...


For my first card I sprinkled black Brusho pigments onto water color card stock. I got a bunch of backgrounds out of this one and decided to go with this one. Since the white background from the water color paper looked kind of blah I sponged distress inks on top. I also  outlined some of the bigger stars with a fine black pen. Added iridescent tape (with stars, too) and the sentiment (lil' Inkers). In teh end I also added some Stickles.


For my second card I did the same thing.


I used emerald and grey Brushos and used photo paper instead. Again I got a bunch of backgrounds out of this one. The cute dragon is from My Favorite Things, as is the sentiment. 


I hope you liked this!

Happy Twofing!

I know this word is overused, but -- WOW -- your starry backgrounds are fantastic! You're very good with the Brushos. I especially love the green... maybe because it has that cute dragon on it, but I do have a thing for green. Thanks so much for sharing your twofer with us at Twofer!
Wow! I love these..great star filled backgrounds.

What rich, luscious backgrounds on these starry delights, Cornelia ... such a great sense of depth and dimension on them both! The first is cool and masculine and I love how the iridescent tape leads to the bold sentiment ... and that little dragon is indeed magical! Happy to have you playing along with us at Twofer ... thank you! Hugs, Anita :)

Your starry galaxies are really sensational, Cornelia, and very versatile for so many occasions. Your first card leaves no doubt that the recipient is a STAR and your fun second card is indeed magical with that flying adorable dragon!! Thank you so much for Twofing in Challenge #13! And good job using that NBUS stencil! Hugs, Darnell

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!
