Pigeons

 
Pigeons is this week´s theme for the Sunday Postcard Art challenge. For my card, I´ve used stamps from CiaoBella, PaperArtsy and Visible Image Stamps.

What's on your Mind?

 
The Sunday Postcard Art challenge asks us "What´s on your Mind?" this week. I could have made about five cards as I love thought provoking themes like this, but I ended up with two tonight. What´s up Watson? was inspired by a meeting with a very old friend of more than 35 years recently that I hadn´t seen for a while for good reasons. 
My second card is about those voices you sometimes can´t calm and that make you crazy but tell the truth, and you should listen to them. Sometimes there are other voices coming from your heart, and you have to decide which ones you want to follow.

Stamps used for the first card are from Tim Holtz at Stampers Anonymous, for the second card I´ve mixed stamps from Dina Wakely at Ranger Ink, Visible Image and Artemio.

If I had a Hammer ...

 
Do you know what I love about challenge blogs? They really challenge me!

When I first read this week´s theme "Tools" for the Sunday Postcard Art challenge blog, I thought, oh, I´m out this week. Then it dawned to me that I have a very unusual stamp that is very appropriate for this theme, and here's my card made with it.

Stamps are from Nick Bantock/Artistic Stamper, Stamping Bella and Studiolight.

Celebrate Summer

Summer is this week´s theme for the Sunday Postcard Art challenge, and I think that flowers really represent summer. 
My card was made with stamps from Alison Bomber at Paper Artsy. As always, the colours are different in real life, especially as I used some neon scribble sticks ... but my scanner doesn´t like neons.

Happy

 

I`m sorry, but I´ve made my card for this week´s Sunday Postcard Art challenge themed "Bubbles" with colours that my scanner doesn`t like at all - in general, all oranges and reds aren´t shown right, and then there are additional neon effects on this one ... if you go to my Instagram channel bockel24, you´ll see the colours much better taken with my smartphone camera, but even the camera can´t show the neons. That´s why cards have to be sent to real friends in real life - only the recipient can see the real card, and isn´t that a nice fact?

I've used stamps from Stempelbar and AALL&Create here plus watercolours and neon scribble sticks.

ATCs for trade at the Stempelmekka

I've made two ATCs tonight that I really like. I had made two collaged backgrounds some time ago that have been waiting on my desk to be used - and they`ve made perfect backgrounds for these two ATCs using stamps from Dina Wakley at RangerInk and Alison Bomber at PaperArtsy. Wanna trade? Meet me at the Stempelmekka in Dortmund on September 6th, and you´ll find them in my album ...

Keep the Balance

 
Some people today believe that their work-life-balance is the most important thing in their life, others struggle with keeping up their emotional balance in times of war, and then when you get older you know that there are days that make it hard to keep your head up and move a foot forward - so keeping your balance is really important for all of us.

I´m hosting the Sunday Postcard Art challenge this week with the theme and tried to visualize it with stamps from Tim Holtz and Paper Artsy.
