Orange #6

I'm not so happy with this card. Because I wanted everything to go together I painted the cardstock, but it started to curl and I thought it would go away when it dried, but unfortunately it didn't :( 

The flowers are a Crafty Individuals stamp and the sentiment is from Different Colors (Every day has something, but today is special!).

 

Orange #4

I have this stamp from Crafty Individuals for quite a while.  I think this must be one of the first stamps I had.  It perfectly combines 2 of my hobbies: stamping and birdwatching.  The sentiment is from a Crafty Secrets set 'Bird Lovers'.

 

Orange #2

My second orange background is sprayed with red ecoline, but I don't know if you can see it clearly on the picture.  I've combined balloon stamps from 2 different stamping companies: the background and sentiment are from Stampinback and the focal stamp is from Crafty Individuals.  I have to admit I had to do the background twice because I didn't use the correct ink first and I had black stains on it :(

 

First card of 2012

When I look back at 2011 I see that it was not such a creative year for me. So one of my resolutions for this year is to spend less time behind my computer and much more time on crafting. Since it's only the first week I'm holding on to this resolution :)

I stamped the image with distress stains. Maybe the stamp had to many details, so the result was an unrecognisable image. As I didn't want to throw this away, I stamped on top with black ink and it looks good enough for me.

The image is from Crafty Individuals and the sentiments are from a Hero Arts clear stamp set.

Worldwide Stamping Week

Yesterday was the last day of the Worldwide Stamping Week organised on 2peas. I had a lot of fun with the challenges and created a lot of cards. Because I wanted to have a line in the cards I made for WSW I used the same size for all of them (10,5x10,5cm). I don't like all of them, but I tried a lot of new techniques, used new stamps and enjoyed myself this week.

Teresa's theme is 'colours of the earth'. I've used green-brown patterned paper from Scenic Route and this gorgeous stamp from Crafty Individuals. Since I don't know for which purpose I'll use this card, I haven't put a text on it yet.
