Unbirthday Challenge at Little Tangles

Unbirthday Challenge - what is that - you may ask - I certainly did. It is the challenge that is going on over at Neat & Tangled. It means you should use a stamp that is not normally used for birthday cards. First my mind was set on a Christmas stamp - since I have been using quite a few lately....but all my ideas did not pan out.

So today one of my virtual friends emailed me and told me she visited the Hundertwasser tower in Abensberg - a small town not too far away from where I used to live in Germany. Now I am a big fan of Hundertwasser, but I have been unaware of the nearby treasure. Next year I have to go there.... but to make things short - I got the idea for my card.

I have this old rubber stamp at home - found it in the rummage bin at AC Moores and it is not intended for stamping - it was for pottery. But rubber is rubber and why not stamp with it. The pattern certainly reminded me about Hunderwasser and I colored it with Copics in a way that he might have been happy with it....

The sentiment is from Paper Smooches - Sentiment sampler - I wish it would have been from Little Tangles....maybe soon...

I am also linking this card with the Paper Players One Layer card challenge.

This is a photo of the tower - pretty amazing, isn't it?

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
