Topflight Stamps -- Autumnal Christmas

     Hi Everyone,

It's Topflight Stamps day! 
This week it's anything goes. A good way to increase my Christmas card pile!


Honestly I really thought that part of the stamp set is Christmassy, although if you look closely it's really more autumn.....Oh well, too late, it's now a Christmas card. just don't analyze those leaves too closely. The red berries are Christmassy enough.
I colored with water colors and water based markers. Added crystal lacquer to the berries. I like that stuff better than glossy accents. It doesn't clog up the bottle immediately. I also added generous gold splatters. The sentiment is heat embossed. I also added a little bell on a red thread.


I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting. 
See you next week with more Topflight Stamps inspiration.
And here are the stamp supplies I used:

Sehr schön ist auch diese Karte, die Zweige stehen für Weihnachten, auch wenn sie in Natura heftig stacheln.

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.
