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.

Mirror Image Stamping with So Suzy and the MISTI

Hi Everyone, I am so happy to be part of this wonderful event - the collaboration between So Suzy and the MISTI from My Sweet Petunia doing mirror image stamping.  This event is going on for the ENTIRE  MONTH! We are demonstrating the  Mirror Image Stamp    which coordinates with the Misti Stamping Tool! All month long, different bloggers will post a card using the  Mirror Image Stamp .  In my tutorial today, I will show you how use the  Mirror Image Stamp  on your cards. You can basically double your stamp supplies that way! The  mirror image stamp  is  a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of red rubber with no foam backing. So much larger than the other mirror image stamps out there and therefore much more useful!

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.

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...
