The origami fox :) with a beautiful background!

 I made this card using the most beautiful background stamp EVER - morrocan tiles from Birgit Koopsen.

I embossed it black and then added another background stamp called "textures in my journal" ( by Zorrottes) which I embossed white..

I found an "oldie" in my stash - the autumn grunge leaf by Susan Weckesser and the last stamp used is the "renard origami" from Carabelle Studio.

This week at Simon says stamp the challenge is to use background stamps , so here we go!

sparkle and shine #enjoy the moment

 

At Simon Says Stamp this monday the theme is sparkle and shine. I`m in  the mood for coloring, stamping and cutting out images , so this is my tag for that challenge.

Sparkly flowers, dragonfly, caterpillar and even the eyes of the art doll.

It made me think of the quote;

" accept both compliments and criticism - it takes both sun and rain for a flower to grow"

Bye for now.

Gummiapan dies and stamps :)

A couple of years ago I met Gummiapan (rubbermonkey) at a trade fair in Germany. I like the quirky style.

Now I have been told that they make advent calendar loaded with dies - how cool is that ?

Of course I had to find my "old" box and put a card together.

Autumn will arrive pretty soon with its wonderful colours and loads of goodies to find in the forest.

So here we go - a card made with products from Gummiapan and with this card I join the wednesdaychallenge at Simon says stamp.

...the very last one `for the road...

 Experimenting with different medias - love this freedom...

" a profound awareness of the universe that triggers feelings too deep and mysterious for words"

Take care out there!

maybe the last one before the holidays???

 "just another tag"

Using gelli prints, transperancy film, a collage image from Flow, loads of different colors and even rub-ons from Studio Calico. I had fun again! 

A little gift for the latest member in our local yoga-group. 

Take care out there!

 ... and now I can`t stop my self...!

Another tag  from left-overs and my latest stamp ,

from Kate Crane.

I will join the SimonSaysStampChallenge with this tag as well. The theme there is still "anything goes".

" the secret to living well is

eat half.

walk double,

laugh triple

and love without measure."

Sounds ok .

For the love of summer!

 

...life doesn`t have to be perfect to be wonderful... ( it sure would make it easier though!)
