Hero Arts Scramble on Flickr

Yesterday evening was another scramble at the Hero Arts Flickr group. I enjoy being part of that and to my big dismay I have missed the last two. For the people who are not familiar with this, the rules are: 

you have 90 minutes to create a card, 
you have to use at least one Hero Arts stamp or digi and 
you have to upload your creation within those 90 minutes onto the flickr website. 
Very straightforward. Give it a try next time!


Since 90 minutes is not that long I choose to go with watercolors - very forgiving technique....I stamped distress inks onto an acrylic bloc, misted it with water and pressed it onto watercolor paper. I then overstamped it with various plant stamps - all Hero arts. The second card I first clear embossed the poison ivy plant (it looks like one) before I did the other steps and doodled around the edges in the end. The sentiment is from an Impression Obsession set.







I hope you like it. Ah, I just remembered - Moxie Fab has a watercolor challenge going on - I will participate, why not...

I wish  you all an enjoyable weekend and thank you for all your support and nice comments. I just love reading them!

Huhu Cornelia!
Das sind endlich mal schöne Trauerkarten - auch für so einen Anlaß kann man gerne mal Farbe ins Spiel bringen. Toll!

Lovely cards, Cornelia! Wish I could have joined in on the fun but I've had limited access to Internet this weekend and can't get on Flickr at all. Looking forward to seeing everyone's cards. :-). I may have to try that water colour trick. Looks fun.

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

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it. And here is a close -up: Challenges: Dynamic Duos CAS Colours and Sketches Addicted to Stamps and More Amusing Challenges Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die. --X-- Card for Maddy: You may know already about  Maddy ,  who  was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fifteen year old sister Melanie.  She now has a relapse and this car
