Moody Blues



I discovered this crafts 4 eternity challenge recently and really liked their inspiration picture. I thought I will use those colors in an idea I recently had. I got those letter stencils at Michaels and wanted to make word cards with them in different colors just with sponging. That can be used for any season or just as a background - all those possibilities swirling around in my head.....

 I am not totally happy with the fonts that were available, but they were cheap enough that nothing much is lost.....

At CASology this week's theme is WINTER, so I am also submitting this card to this challenge.

Here is the card I made. The colors are the closest I could find in my stash for the color challenge:




The snowflakes are from Inkadinkadoo and I put Stickles on the small ones to add some sparkle.



AHH and since its winter I thought I show you some pictures from my Christmas vacation in Ithaca. It was sooo pretty there. I wish we had some snow here.

Cornelia, what a clever idea to use stencil letters! I have them (also from Michael's) but it never occurred to me! What pretty blues, and I love the various snowflakes, too. I'm a Jersey Girl, too...and I would love to see some snow! Glad you saw such beautiful scenes in Ithaca, what lovely photos you took there! Thanks for joining in the fun at CASology this week!

Hi Conni

deine Karte ist mal wieder ein richtiger Hingucker und eine superschöne Umsetzung der Farbchallenge!

Ich kann dich verstehen das dir der Schnee fehlt. Ich mag auch gerne Schneelandschaften aber auf der Strasse ist er mir ein Gräuel!
Das sind wirklich herrliche Winterszenen, die du ganz toll eingefangen hast.

LG Rosi

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
