Stempel Spass

Hi Everyone, I have a Twofer today, as Darnell would call it and two very different cards. The first one I made for the Ellen Hudson Pinsights challenge  - see the mood board below. I used the Mondo Hydrangea - heat embossed it onto Bristol paper and colored it with a combination of oxide inks and water brush pens. The die cut thanks is by CUTplorations . Lovely, that mood board, isn't it? I also added Wink of Stella to the hydrangea, but it dos not show well in my pictures. My second card I made for Merry Mondays . Since Muse Christmas Visions is now monthly I need to play with the "competition" to get my Christmas cards done without too much stress in the end. The theme is "Kraft". Heat embossed the Hero Arts wreath (CG485) and added tiny pearls and gems. Added the twine. Again the die cuts are from CUTplorations .

Hi Everyone, I am trying to play along at Mel's  7 Days 7 Sketches challenge  and here is day 1: The sketch is below. Used Paper Smooches sets for my stamps. The film strip is by Poppy Stamps and the sentiment is from Ellen Hudson. Did a water color wash or the background and watr colored the chicks.

Hi Everyone, despite on what the card says, no happy things are happening in my life. I finally had my cataract surgery and the outcome is so so, thanks to a damaged retina. I see better than before, but not clear and this can not be corrected with glasses. It is what it is. Just hoping my right eye does not give up on me.... And then my dear mother died unexpectedly - she just stopped breathing. My older sister was with her.  At least she did not have to suffer. I am flying to Germany for her funeral, so I am taking a blogging break. So sorry, I won't be able to comment. I know you'll understand. I am playing in the current Pinsights challenge by Ellen Hudson. Although I was tempted to go with the pink ombre inspiration I in the end choose the Pantonte color picture - not that I am such a fan of soft colors, but this is supposed to be a challenge, right?! And I actually managed to stay soft and I do like the outcome. Don't worry, I'll go back to m...

Hi Everyone, I am playing in the Ellen Hudson Mix it up challenge  - this time its Penny Black. Finally an incentive to pull out my neglected PB supplies. I settled for the pretty sentiment and paired it up with Ellen Hudson stamps. Heat embossed the flowers in white and then stamped again with distress inks, after I misted the stamp with water. Used water color paper. Did some partial sponging and added water drops. In the end I also added Washi tape. Also linking up with: Simon Says Wednesday challenge - one layer
