Stamp Connection #36

Hi Everyone,

Connected through our love for card making, blogging and being from Germany we (Tanja from Little Art Cottage and I) decided to create a monthly project within predefined requirements. We are going to show you the result every 2nd Sunday of the month and this is our ninth transatlantic get-together!

This time it was Tanja's turn to pick the requirements:
April showers bring May Flowers



Whenever I hear the word rain I think of Ryn's gorgeous water drops. Time to pull them out, I thought. Combined them with this beautiful iStencil (see below). Used Catherine Pooler inks for the stencil and Inktense for the drops. I also did some masking and light sponging. The happy die cut is from Cutplorations, the rest is Your Next Stamp.






I made this card with a friend of mine in mind, who got a recent presumptive diagnosis of lung cancer, but the biopsy showed only inflammation. Those drops are symbolizing tears of joy!


Lets not forget to check out  Tanja's artwork!


Happy Stamping!

Sonnenschein und Regen sind im April an der Tagesordnung. Es fehlt nur noch der Hagelschauer - aber den brauchen wir nicht.
Auch diese Karte gefällt mir wieder sehr gut.
Liebe Grüße

*Gasp*! and WOW! You have, most definitely, outdone yourself. First of all that is one hellava design. Totally gorgeous. And I don't have enough words for the coloring. Let us just say, it is magnificent. So happy I saw this card...it is amazing.
How very gorgeous. I just love the beautiful stencil you used and the raindrops look fabulous with it. This certainly looks like April showers to me, but around here so far it is in the form of snow. Ugh!

I'm so glad to read this is a 'tears of joy' card, Cornelia...and how gorgeous it is! The flowers and raindrops really do capture April showers bringing May flowers. We've not yet reached the 'showers' part of Spring yet...still snowing here...
Hugs~c

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. 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
