Waltzingmouse Pajama Party too

I am still partying *LOL* ... I was looking at all your beautiful creations and decided to continue and make a second post. First time I looked at challenge no 3 - color inspiration, I thought - no, not me! But this is where a real challenge starts, right?? ... So I sat down, went trough my stamp pads and found I have the right colors (you know that hoarding syndrome?) ... then I went into my stamp sets and found *sight* tooooo many, choice is toooooo difficult! I had hard time to concentrate on one set and not to jump from idea to idea - finishing nothing at the end!
At last I decided for the Asian garden and additions, because I felt the lanterns can easily take a color mix. While stamping and messing around, I needed the bird (cut out on a 3D pad) to cover an unwanted spot and needed a quote, that is not two lines ... then decided there is too much emty space on the right side, so looked out for some Rhinestone sparkle (Asian cards can have that, right?).
At the end I am pleased, mainly because I stamped more or less the whole day, something I haven't done for ages and it felt good.
Thanks to Claire and her team for the big effort of all those inspirations - love the diversity, everybody can find something there.



With the last day light I took my photos and will enjoy my evening now - nighty night everybody!

Hallo Antje

Toll, dass Du die Farbkombination auch noch geschafft hast, das war nämlich wirklich eine Herausforderung.

Die Lampions in diesen Farben gefallen mir sehr gut, den aufgesetzten Vogel finde ich auch klasse, ebenso den verschieden farbig gestempelten Gruss sowie die Glitzersteinchen.

Schönen Abend und liebe Grüsse
Carola

I am not familiar with that stamp set, but you made it look wonderful! Perfect coloring, placement, and yes rhinestones. Reading your bio, can't believe people so far apart can love the same hobby! We all speak 'stamp', don't we?

I am too familiar with that feeling where your mind just hops from one idea to another and you can't seem to get anything started.
So glad you finally settled on this set as I have it too and I love what you've done with the lanterns - skillfully masked and stamped and that repeated sentiment across the top is perfect.
