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 . Just in case you fell in love with the die cuts - use  code STAMPGIRLCORNELIA to get 20% off on all...

Hi Everyone its challenge time at CUTplorations again! And we have one cool inspiration photo for you! I love this whimsical inspiration maria choose for us. image source:  Smashing Magazine  I though Shirley's  Birds of Paradise  would do this illustration justice. Colored them in with Copics. The background I made with the Trendy Leaves .     I hope you play along this month - there are prizes, of course. A  random winner can pick any 2 of the word/phrase dies that you the DT used in this challenge. Oops, I totally forgot about that.....but the other DT girls followed the rule.....

Hi Everyone, I am so delighted to be Guest Designer for the July TIMI challenge over at Craft Stamper for week two of the month long challenge. The theme is easy - take a stamp! But is has to be the real thing, not a digi. Took me a while to figure out what to do..... I finally settled on that fun hippo from Katzelkraft. I thought it pairs up perfectly with the sentiment from Rubber Necker. The background I did with an ARTplorations stencil  (STAMPlorations) and the wonky stitched border is the brand new Cutplorations die also from STAMPlorations. Just imagine what else you could do with that fun stamp! Happy Stamping and don't forget to link up at the TIMI challenge !
