Stencil Ghosting

Hi Everyone,

I am in Easter card mode and I wanted to play in the CAS Stencil challenge. The theme is ghosting.


I had a lot of trouble with it. I finally produced something I kind of can live with.....Still not happy at all. It makes everything look fuzzy. but it is, what it is.....


 I used my favorite "egg" iStencil for this - made a lot of Easter cards with it in the past. Those things look like eggs to me. Below you see my failed ghosting attempt. But I cheated here and sponged some matching color over the ghosted areas, as they didn't show up well. I like it much better. New technique, huh - I call it reverse ghosting, LOL!


My second card was supposed to go onto Colour Throwdown, but I missed the deadline.....Still love those colors!

Both your cards are awesome, Cornelia! Ghosting is supposed to leave a bit of a fussy edge on the design. I love the bright green with your sweet white bunny. The green tummy is so fun! Your original card looks fantastic with the sponging over top of the ghosting to bring out the contrast. Very clever. Love the colours and your sweet adorable brown bunny! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Stencil!

Boy oh boy, amazing amount of challenges you met with this post.
Love your favorite stencil on both cards and all 3 colors you chose. You're making those bunnies very happy with their background and the recipients with their Easter cards.

I think both of your cards are wonderful. I love the fuzziness of the green ghosting. It looks great... and I did get a chuckle out of your new technique - reverse ghosting. That is the beautiful thing about this kind of art - it is always unique. I love what you did. Thanks for joining in our GREEN challenge at Addicted To CAS.

Liebe Cornelia,
es geht doch!!!!!
Eine wunderbare Karte hast Du zuwege gebracht, mehrere Lagen und auch für Kinder geeignet. Kinder müssen ja zwangsläufig nicht immer klein sein, auch große Kinder bekommen gerne mal eine Karte zugesteckt (noch lieber, wenn sie einen raschelnden Inhalt hat *hihihi*).
Schön, dass Du bei NSS dabei bist.
LG Flo

Diese Technik kenne ich gar nicht, aber es gibt einen guten Effekt. Und man braucht gar nicht viel zusätzlich und schon ist eine Karte fertig. Klasse.
Schön, das du bei Night-Shift-Stamping dabei bist.

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

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! 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 same thing on my photo tutorial. With mirror
