Hi Everyone, I got inspired to play along with the current  Dream Factory  challenge.  It's Jumanji - a Jungle scene. That's what I came up with: I hope it meets the requirements. There are certainly frogs living in the jungle and certain types of chameleons. Mine here does, as you can see. The  animal stamps are by Local King Rubber Stamps, the rest of them are from Uniko. I added some white gel pen accents and the  background is blended with distress oxide inks. I hope you liked this!

Hi Everyone, it's Christmas card time again. I am falling behind my goal, so I took some time to make a Christmas card. The CAS Christmas challenge is about to close, so I took that as incentive. The theme is peace. My dies are by Poppy Stamps and the sentiment is from Uniko. The background is sponged with distress inks and I added water splatters. Don't neglect your Christmas cards..... Happy Stamping!

Hi Everyone, Connected through our love for card making, blogging and being from Germany we (Tanja from   Little Art Cottage   and I) decided to create a monthly project within predefined requirements. We are going to show you the result every 3rd Sunday of the month and this is our 28th transatlantic get-together! This time it was Tanja's turn to pick the requirements: "tropical" We also have a guest with us this time and it is Maike from Maikreations  - her cards are cute and colorful and executed with perfection! On top of that  - they make you smile! Welcome Maike - great to have you with us! I used the pretty Paradise stamp set from Uniko for my card. Did some masking. Colored it with Inktense pencils. Added a strip of my favorite PP at the bottom and of course stamped the sentiment. Lets check out  Maike's  and  Tanja's artwork! Happy Stamping!

Hi Everyone, I am so honored to be guest designing for Uniko Stamps today for their 42nd challenge ! I am sure you all know Uniko stamps - a delightful Britisch stamp company with an even more delightful owner Beverly Brown. She single handedly runs the entire company while juggling two young twin boys. A true wonder woman! But lets get back to the challenge - the theme is flowers - don't we all love them? And there is a pretty inspiration picture to go along with it: Here is my card: This is the inspiration picture: I used the pretty Happy Succulents set to make this card. I stamped it in green and water colored it in. I also added some water color to the solid succulents to give them more dimension. As you can see, the sentiment  is from the same set. I mounted the strip onto foam tape and added an enamel dot. You'll have almost the entire month to play along! See you at the Challenge !

 Hi Everyone, for the Muse Christmas Visions inspiration you need to scroll down. I am playing along with Less is more - the challenge is just to my liking! One layer (my favorite) combined with spots and stripes - can't think of anything better! Made two cards - quite similar. I do like my first one better My supplies: Dotted circle by Altenew, sentiment Lil Inkers and striped star is a Simon Says die cut. I did inlaid die cutting, to make it one layer. For my second card I just rearranged everything. I am sure opinions will vary, which one looks better.... Now onto  Muse Christmas Visions : Kimberley Wiener is our Muse this month! And I cased her card like this: Here is Kimberley's card: You see how I got inspired - or better how I basically copied it.....Took that elegant wreath from Uniko and heat embossed it in green. Sponged distress ink onto the wreath and added those tiny berries. Added the sentiment, some Stic...
