SDC 365 "anything goes"

 

2021!

...happy we got here...

Let`s see what the future brings.

Don`t panic, stay calm, don`t take anything for granted, don`t take yourself too seriously!

We have to laugh and enjoy the moment and we have to believe that everything will be " fine" again!

I made this page will my Stampotique stamps, joining the current SDC 365 .

Cant help myself from loving those weird faces ; Leeta,, Kopf and Jillian.

I stamped the background with the Squares from Terri Richardson, decorated the heads with the hats from Penney&Torrente and painted with different Distress oxides and inks. 

Dies are all from the swedish company Gummiapan.

Wish you all another wonderful January!

Celebration for SDC 277

Using the stamps Jeepers ,  candle , two sticks and the background French Journal Page, I made this little celebration card for the latest challenge over at Stampotique (SDC).

Cant help myself - just LOVE these images!

spotlightning - SDC no 172

Do we have to love or hate the distressed look ? Maybe at some times we think that the distressed look is a little bit to much, but hey,  ho,  like the french would say " - affaire des goût" ( a matter of taste ).

I just know that when I saw that stencil it was a MUST HAVE. And I DO think that it goes well with the bees - I have to say - today I LOVE distressed!!!

This is my latest card - thinking about one of my lovely daughters. " Just 4 U".

The only stamp involved here is the no 3000 by Jo Capper Sandon.  The rest is stencil work, modelling paste, distress inks, sodalicious letters and my good old sewing machine...(!).

Sooo, with this card I hereby enter the latest challenge at Stampotique Designers Challenge ( no 172).

Love to you all.

funky boxes for SDC 150

Some years ago , a friend of mine ordered Sizzix dies with me and apparently I had said I wanted to have the funky boxes thick cut. Today , I  found a way to use that die - joining the SDC challenge no 151 where the theme is "boxes".

I stamped with stampotique stamps after cutting out the boxes. The eyes are colored with different Faber Castell before adding glossy accents to get the "groovy" look...

... and the chosen word "passion"?   ... because I cant help myself from loving these weird faces!

Wish you all a pleasant week!

Hope you like it - right now we need those warm colours in Luxemburg - it is cold and rainy and we should be happy - we need the rain.. But still , we had gotten used to the bright sunshine and now we freeze...!

Happy Eurovision evening everybody!
