Trendy Feathers for Inkspirational

Hi Everyone, I am playing along with the Inkspirational challenge - the inspiration picture got me! You can see it below, but you will have to mag it up to see all the amazing details on that photo. I pulled out those pretty feathers from Stamplorations and heat embossed them. The sentiment is from the same set. Added some dark grey water color to color the feathers and also gave them a light shadow.  Added some dots from the Frames and Flowers set . Finished the card with some string and Washi tape. I like how it turned out! And here is a deal for you: use  code STAMPGIRLCORNELIA to get 20% off on all stamps, stencils, and dies on all regular- and sale-priced items in the store. Happy Stamping!

Two Birthday Cards

Hi Everyone, I bet once you see the inspiration picture from  Stampin' Royalty  you want to play along too! I heat embossed with WOW gold embossing powder on rainbow paper, using my old wood Hero Arts Starburst Lace stamp. Added some gold Washi tape on the side and the sentiment.  Here is that fantastic picture - I really liked the cake: Another view of my card: For my second card I got enticed by Inkspirational to play along in their current challenge - they have a fun inspiration picture - very appealing to me. I also knew right away what I would use to make my card and here it is: I envisioned it differently and I am not really happy with the outcome. It actually was more work than I thought and I don't like the look of it. I think it's mainly that I did not really have the correct matching paper. Oh well. It is what it is. Somebody will get this card, that's for sure. Maybe one of my son's friends.... My supplies ...

Stamp Connection #12

Hi Everyone, Connected through our love for card making, blogging and being from Germany we (Tanja from   Little Art Cottage   and I) decided to create a monthly project within predefined requirements. We are going to show you the result every 3rd Sunday of the month and this is our eleventh transatlantic get-together! This time it was Tanja's turn to pick the requirements: She picked "create your own background using small stamps". I took  that gorgeous W&W set My Precious , which has all those pretty little gems. I stamped them onto water color card stock and heat embossed them in white. I water colored them in and water colored the background. Added the big FRIEND - die cut it twice. Once with aqua paper and once with hot pink fun foam. The precious is heat embossed in white and cut at an angle for more interest. I also added some Wink of Stella, but it does not show on the photo. Linking up with: Winnie&Walter - Rerun - my...

Oh Deer!

  Hi my Friends,   I am not back to card making yet, but got the "brilliant " idea to search my draft folder for suitable material, since I can use my tablet, although I am still banned from the computer..... So I dug out this card, it conveniently fits the Inkspirational challenge , you can see the picture below. Sorry for the poor photo. Last year, when I made this card I didn't yet have a light box.     .    I don't remember the company from the deer stamp. It is an ancient stamp and back then I trough out the wrapper....the strip of PP is  a little left over strip by the Renke Manufaktur. The die cut leaves are Impression Obsession.       Also linking up with: Jingle Belles - Holiday leftovers (I guess it qualifies double, since not only did I use a small strip of paper, but the card is also leftover from last year ....) 4 Crafty Chicks - inspired by a Christmas song (Rudolph the red nosed...

YOU & ME

Hi Everyone, I made this card for the A Blog Named Hero challenge - make the sentiment the star. I thought that  set   You and Me that I have needed to be inked up again....it has been collecting dust, LOL! I went with the colors from this weeks Cosmic Strawberry challenge - aren't they delicious?!! I first made the card without the splatters, but then I thought it looked somewhat naked. So splatters it was....Used my Simon Says rectangular stitched die to cut the white card panel and mounted it onto a Kraft base - needed to get that brown color in somehow.... Also linking up with: Inkspirational - anything goes with Kraft Simon Says Monday challenge - I scream for - obviously I scream for YOU By the way the  monthly challenge  at A2z Scrapbooking is still open through the end of the month - the theme is CAS.    You need to use Hero Arts Products.

Crazy Birds Again.....

Hi Everyone, if you were expecting a card I have to disappoint you - made a little piece of "art" here on canvas with my favorite birds.... First I gessoed, then I stamped the bird, masked it and spritzed with Dylusion spray. Colored the bird, stamped some more - all other stamps besides the crazy bird are by   Ryn Tanaka - her stamps and those birds just go so well together! Added black splatters and finished it off with varnish. The whole project took a while - stuff needs to dry in between those steps. and here he is again - Mr. Dapper - I love him! Edited for more info: Its tricky to stamp on canvas, because of the give - I put the stamp on the table and put the canvas on it and then rubbed my fingers onto the stamp (through the canvas). You have to watch out and not shift anything. I gessoed the canvas first. I used Dylusion ink sprays for the background and probably distress inks and some Copics to color the bird - can't quite remem...

Crazy Bird Father's Day card

Hi Everyone, time to play with the Crazy Birds - I think they just lend themselves to be made into Father's Day cards.... I used watercolor paper and watercolors to color Mr. Crazy. Gave him a snazzy little bow-tie made with a YNS die, colored it, too and added glossy accents. Added the sentiment by Studio112 - I actually cut that sentiment out - I figured I'll never will use the stamp as it is anyhow and that was easier than masking it.... And did I mention the splatters? Linking up with: Cut it up  - Ties for Fathers Day Colour me....!  - my orange show up as red in the picture... Friday Mashup  - water color Snippets Playground  - use a snippet (bow tie) - probably the tiniest snippet ever ;) Simon Says Wednesday challenge  - anything goes Inkspirational - Purple ( as suggested by Carol) Sweet Stampin' Challenge - Fathers Day Happy Stamping!
