Thank You with Leaves

Hi Everyone,

I am taking a break from making DT cards and I am just playing with some of my neglected supplies.


I made this card with stamps and dies by Papertrey - the dies are NBUS. They have been collecting dust for at least a year - what a shame! The whole card is made from snippets - an old (dusty) water colored background, that I did not like, but thought it might be useful one day, the leave outlines - leftover strips of watercolor paper and the butterflies - again left overs from a prior card.


Of course I am playing in some challenges:

Snippets Playground - use a snippet


 

Happy Stamping!

Yay a for using your NBUS! I have the exact same thanks stamp from ME and as soon as I saw this I knew I had to visit because it's given me some ideas on what to do with it. I love the dies and that you've used lots of odds and ends that have been lying around. Perfect for the snippets playground :) xx

Irgendwann kommt jedes Teil zum Einsatz und das Entstauben hat sich gelohnt. Eine wunderschöne Karte!!!

I love those leaves, though I didn't let myself buy them. What a beautiful card, Cornelia--great use of the background you didn't originally like!

Oh, die ist aber schön geworden! Gut, dass du den Hintergrund abgestaubt hast, denn er sieht sehr gut so aus! Und die Schriftzüge machen sich sehr gut hinter den Blättern!

The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey.

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.
