Guest Designing for 52CCT - Candy Canes

   Hi Everyone,

I am back with my weekly Christmas card. This week I am honored to be guest designing for 52CCT - the theme is "Candy Canes".  

I had this set called Candy Cane Christmas (Simon Says stamps) in my stash for quite a while and had never used it. It was waiting for this challenge, LOL! I made a simple one layer card, starting with the sentiment and then randomly stamping the candy canes around it with a bit of masking where they overlapped. I also took a Copic marker and drew along the edges of the candy canes to give then a bit dimension. Otherwise they look kind of flat. 

I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting. Go and play along with this fun Challenge - Christmas is not too far away!

Cornelia... thrilled that you decided to join us as our guestie this month at Christmas Card Throwdown! So love your candy canes. Such a simple idea to randomly stamp one candy cane on a card but such a lovely effect. I love how you varied the reds for depth... great card!

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.
