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!

Great interpretation of the April Showers bring May Flowers. Fabulous layout and love how you've combined the stamping and the stencilling....Gorgeous x

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

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.....
