Stampotique March Challenge

Hi Everyone,

we at Stampotique have a new challenge, it is in its second week - the theme is "Mail Art". 


I used the Funky Town stamp for my background. I stamped half of the stamp on the left and the other half on the right of the envelope. The center house I drew by hand. The cute dogs are from the Dog Cube. As usual I colored it all with Inktense pencils. Added  a Finetec gold ball onto the top of my hand drawn house. Added white gel pen to the windows and the dogs.
The address is made up, of course. Waiting for some dog lover to mail out this card....



Stampotique Challenges run every TWO weeks......
Please remember you can use any stamps for our challenge and you are allowed to have 2 entries per challenge. From all the current months entries we will draw 2 random winners who will each win a 30.00 gift certificate on the first week of the following month.

Have fun with 
Hope to see you at the challenge!

You colouring is fantastic, Cornelia ... such brilliant blending of those bold rainbow shades ... and a fabulous fun and quirky scene, sure to brighten all the postal workers' days as well as that of the recipient! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Time Out! Hugs, Anita :)
Fun way to dress up the envelope. Nice little scene and someone will so enjoy getting this happy mail.

What a fun idea for a challenge!! Your envelope would be too darn fabulous to open, Cornelia! I think it would be framed unopened as art!! Another wonderful unique take on the HOME challenge for the March HLS Cas challenge! Thanks for playing again!! Hugs, Darnell

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

Addicted to Stamps and More #134 and Spotlight Sneak Peek

Hi Everyone, Its challenge time at  ATSM ! For the next two week its going to be CAS - just my thing! And hopefully yours, too! I made a birthday card, because for some reason I always need more and never seem to have enough.... I was inspired by this weeks Make it Monday , where the talented  Ashley Newell  shows us a video about  stamps and doodling. Since I  mainly own die cuts from Papertrey and not so many stamps that would fit this theme I made my own out of fun foam, using my latest Papertrey dies (just got the order a few days ago) and cut those in fun foam - it works so well - voila - you have our own stamps, spending only a fraction of the money! I doodled around the stamps as you can see. Gives you kind of a cool effect....a little more tremor and one would think I drank too much ;) Added tiny enamel dots - do you know about this month House of Cards challenge - its enamel dots - thought I'll let you know..... Our wonderful spons...
