Stamp Connection #46

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 2rd Sunday of the month and this is our ninth transatlantic get-together!

This time it was Tanja's turn to pick the requirements:

"Almost Spring and Colored Pencils"  

This challenge turned some of my hairs grey....

I was at a total loss of what to do.

I finally settled on combining those funky chicken (Sparkle N Sprinkle) with a snowman (Paper Smooches).  The sentiment gave me another headache. I combined a German ("Timo & Jens" von Dani Peuss) with on from Concord&9th. Added the stitched border (Cutplorations) and Washi tape.

Oh - I colored with Inktense pencils - my favorites!
I know I have made better cards. Oh well. It is what it is.

At least it's funny, right?

Lets check out  Tanja's artwork!

Happy Stamping!
