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

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.

Mirror Image Stamping with So Suzy and the MISTI

Hi Everyone, I am so happy to be part of this wonderful event - the collaboration between So Suzy and the MISTI from My Sweet Petunia doing mirror image stamping.  This event is going on for the ENTIRE  MONTH! We are demonstrating the  Mirror Image Stamp    which coordinates with the Misti Stamping Tool! All month long, different bloggers will post a card using the  Mirror Image Stamp .  In my tutorial today, I will show you how use the  Mirror Image Stamp  on your cards. You can basically double your stamp supplies that way! The  mirror image stamp  is  a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of red rubber with no foam backing. So much larger than the other mirror image stamps out there and therefore much more useful!
