Stempel Spass

Hi Everyone, its a new challenge at House of cards - this month we have a sketch for you, you'll see it below: The turkey is a Recollections stamp. I colored it with Copics and masked off a circle around it. Stamped the sentiment strip over the mask (Hero Arts Four Bold Messages) and sponged it (after masking the sides). Added string. Pretty easy! Here is our sketch: And once more my card - this time with a green background: See you at HOC - you have the whole month to play along!

Virginia Lu is the Muse of the week and here is her beautiful card. I love those colors, the layout, just everything about it! Such a cheerful card - just like I picture Virginia! A little while ago I was the lucky one and won Mel's blog candy . She has such a fun blog and I always read it with pleasure.

Before I get to today's card I want to say HELLO and WELCOME to my two new members IZOLDA and  BRANDI Both have fantastic blogs that I have linked, feel free to check them out! All my new members get a welcome picture - usually some piece of art I really like and hope you enjoy it, too. This picture I took in the NY City subway. The 14th Street/8th Ave station is full of delightful little sculptures by Tom Otterness . Here two workers are cleaning old subway tokens from the walkway. You really have to pay attention to see them - they are quite small. I also want to thank everybody who continues to visit my little blog and leaves me comments. It is so uplifting to read them and they motivate me making cards. You make my day! --X-- Yesterday it was gorgeous - sunny and pleasant. I had the day off work and took the change to go skiing - probably the last time this very short season. Today its dreadful outside - wet, co...
