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...

Katzelkraft - Stampotique Raven

Hi Everyone, Do you know that   Katzelkraft has aquired Stampotique stamps? This fun raven is designed by Daniel Torrente (#6314). I used an old background from my stashs.  I stamped the bird and colored it with alcohol ink markers.  I brushed distrss ink onto the background and added some pattern with the   Mandala Magic stencil  from Funky Fossil Designs.I used one of the border stamps on the left for more interest.  Stamped the sentiment  and doodled a frame around the sentiment.Added a googly eye to the bird and drew in some eye lashes.  The stamps I used are from the following sets: Spiral Borders - KTZ286,  Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276  (FRANCE) Spiral Borders  - KTZ286 , Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276 (USA) Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration.  Thanks for visiting! Happy Stamping! Linking up with: Simon Says Wednesday challenge  - fur or feathers

Combined So Suzy and The Ton Blog Hop

Hi Everyone, I am sooooo excited to be part of this amazing event - a combined hop between So Suzy Stamps and The Ton! I have been eyeing The Ton stamps and dies for quite a while - they are just gorgeous! And So Suzy - well you have seen their stamps on my blog - they are simply fabulous! I also love that they are made from rubber - its different stamping with them. Its much better for generational stamping and they don't stick to your paper when you use your Misti. You may have arrived from the fabulous  Eunji - its a hard act to follow her.... I got those gorgeous  Peonies Dies  from The Ton and die cut them with water color paper. Spritzed Dylusion inks on a sheet of plastic and dipped the dies into the colors. Mounted them onto black card stock. Added the So Suzy Birthday sentiment - heat embossed in white. Lastly I added a strip of envelope liner paper at the bottom. Here are my supplies: So Suzy Birthday sentiment ,  Peo...
