Stempel Spass

Hi Everyone, I am back with a card for the  Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes with Dies  challenge! I water colored some paper and die cut the ginko leaves. Also dry embossed the leave onto Kraft. Took a stitched die (Simon Says ) and die cut a "polaroid" frame. Added the sentiment (Stempelknopf) and some enamel dots. As the challenge says - ANYTHING is possible, just use your dies!  So come on and play along - that's what you can win: Linking up with: Cuttlebug Mania - anything goes  Snippets Playground  - ginko leaves (only snippets on this card.....) Simon Says Wednesday challenge  - stamp it!

I just wanted to find a reason to pull out my Ryn Tanaka stamp again - and what could be better than CAS-ology's theme "Bubbly"?  The stamp is called rising bubbles  - isn't it wonderful? The background I made with Gelatos on watercolor paper. I tried to take some of the color off from the bubbles, but that didn't work with the gelatos - it works well with distress inks. So I took a white pen to highlight the bubbles.  The fish is by Impression Obsession - clear embossed and the sentiment is from Stempelknopf and translates into "simply unique".  I kept it one layer, so that I also can link it up with the One-Layer Simplicity Challenge - Restocking the Shelves. I think this card you can use for many occasions. --X-- We are having weird weather again - it had 58 degrees today and lots of rain- what a change from the 6 degrees we had just a few days ago. So its best to just go into the card room and create some stuff... ...

Classic and elegant is the theme at House of Cards this week. The sketch remains the same. I somewhat freely interpretated the sketch. I punched out a 2 inch circle. I sponged the background of the panel behind it.  I used the Memory Box Fresh Daisies die and then used the negative die cut to sponge the daisies onto the colored panel. The sentiment is from Stempelknopf. I like the yellow/grey combo - I hope you like it too.  Wanna see more Canada pictures? I thought I show you some wildlife today:     Pretty amazing, those animals. we had so much fun watching them.
