STAMPlorations Inspiration Project #27

Hi Everyone, its INSPIRATION day again at STAMPlorations

Again our wonderful DT made some beautiful cards to entice you playing with your stamps or stencils - STAMPlorations or otherwise. And perhaps I can also inspire you to play along with us!

I pulled out Shirley's wonderful bird stamp set and colored the kingfisher with watercolors. Gave him a party hat from Dee's Party  Mates set

So, if you are up for it - CASE my card or any other card and link it up HERE over at STAMPlorations. The InLinkz gallery  will be open until the 5th of August - gives you plenty of time! One winner will be randomly drawn from all entries to win a $15 gift certificate or their choice of any 2 ARTplorations stencils.


Linking up with:
Colour Q
Less is More - masculine one layer
Simon Says Monday challenge - anything goes



Happy Stamping!

Mooie gestempelde kaart !
One layer vind ik altijd erg moeilijk, wil er altijd weer een basis onder
plakken in een van de tinten van de afbeelding !
Wie weet krijg ik nog inspiratie !

Gorgeous card, Cornelia! I love how you colored the bird and how you turned him into a "Party Animal" :)

Awwww how cute! Super fun idea and the cap fits perfectly on him :)

Cornelia, your ideas are genius. A kingfisher in a hat is an image I've certainly never seen before but he looks awesome, and your colouring is faultless. LOVE!
Thanks for sharing with us.

You've been making such fun and fabulous bird and animal cards recently, Cornelia ... this one's the icing on the cake! Gorgeous use of the colours and I love the happy little party hat! Anita :)

Fresh and fabulous, Cornelia - your party-hat sporting, googly-eyed kingfisher is quite the charmer! Brilliant! Oh yes, about my chickadee card...still not a bird fan, but those are a 'first step' to perhaps liking them (plus they don't really "look" like birds...whew!)
Hugs~c

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.

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
