STAMPlorations Sketch Challenge #26

Hi Everyone -

sorry for the late posting, but here is our new sketch challenge at STAMPlorations - don't worry you'll have two weeks to link up:

Simple and pretty!

Here is the card I made for it:

I used Trendy Butterflies and Mini Mixed Media Backgrounds to make the side strip, but before I stamped the butterflies I directly applied metallic ink and chalk in to the paper to get abase coloring for the strip. I like the shimmer of it. For the sentiment I went with Bloom Sketches .

Here is a closeup, where you can see that shimmer better:

I also added tiny gems to the antennae.

So, go and visit the STAMPlorations blog - great inspiration there to find and we also have a talented guest designer for this challenge - its Maria from Bulgaria, who shares a delightful card with us.

I won't be part of the challenge team any longer at STAMPlorations, so this is my last card for it, but the good news are that I will be part of the Inspirations design team and I still be be doing bi-monthly Spotlights, so this won't be the end for me!!!!

Hope to see your creations over there!

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

Mirror Image Stamping with So Suzy and the MISTI

Hi Everyone, I am so happy to be part of this wonderful event - the collaboration between So Suzy and the MISTI from My Sweet Petunia doing mirror image stamping. This event is going on for the ENTIRE MONTH! We are demonstrating the Mirror Image Stamp which coordinates with the Misti Stamping Tool! All month long, different bloggers will post a card using the Mirror Image Stamp . In my tutorial today, I will show you how use the Mirror Image Stamp on your cards. You can basically double your stamp supplies that way! The mirror image stamp is a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of red rubber with no foam backing. So much larger than the other mirror image stamps out there and therefore much more useful!

Or you can see the same thing on my photo tutorial. With mirror
