Funky Fossil Designs - Happy Bugday

 Hi Everyone,

I am playing with my Funky Fossil Designs stamps. 

I used this set called "Geo Bugs"  as I needed a buggy birthday card....


I used a page from an old dictionary and gessoed it. Stamped the bugs and colored them with water brush pens and markers. Die cut the sentiment and added it to the card. Drew some subtle shadows with pencil under the bugs to make them stand out a bit.


Hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting!

Happy Stamping!

Das ist ja ein tolles Werk geworden.
Die farbenfrohen Käfer passen perfekt zum Hintergrund.

Bei solch bunten Käfern sollte man vorsichtig sein: in der Natur bedeutet bunt meist giftig, gefährlich.
Zum Glück sind Deine Käfer ganz harmlos und einfach nur schön.
Liebe Grüße, Flo

Personally, I love it when you get buggy. The guys are so beautifully and vibrantly colored juxtaposed against that dictionary background. Some one is going to have the very pest happy birthday.
Colorful bugs and another fun card design.

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
