Ladder to the Moon

 
"Ladder" is this week´s theme for the Sunday Postcard Art challenge, and I´ve kept my card simple using only stamps from CiaoBella.

I don´t know if you´ve noticed that I haven´t been able to post any links to any Wordpress blogs for weeks now, so please don´t be confused that my links can only be posted by friends now and that I´m not able to comment to your blogs if you are on Wordpress - sorry for that!

(Somehow Wordpress believes that I have an account there and asks me for my password - that I don´t have because I don´t have an account there. If someone knows how to fix this, just let me know.)

Chase Your Dreams

 
This week´s theme for the Sunday Postcard Art challenge is "Archer", and this is the only archer image I have. It´s a rubber stamp designed by Nick Bantock, and I thought it might match the quote from Visible Image.

Cancellation Marks

 If you know me, you also know that I love to play with postage stamps and that Postage People are my favorite theme. So how could I resist this week´s Sunday Postcard Art challenge theme Cancellation Marks?

My card was made with real postage stamps received from trades and found at a flea market plus cancellation mark stamps from Elizabeth Craft Designs, Marianne Design, and Darkroom Door.

Hares for Earth Day

 
Hares for Earth Day is this week´s theme for the Sunday Postcard Art challenge, and here´s my card for it. I´ve recently watched a film about hares in art history, and some of them looked like the hare I´ve used for my card together with a quote from Aristotle.

(Stamps used here are from Stampers Anonymous, Stempelmine, Stempelwinkel, and Stampscapes.)

Freddy Fox

 
As my Sunday postcard had been already finished, I had time to make another card last night. I thought that the lovely fox stamp from IndigoBlu fits well on a distress oxide background from my stash. I coloured it with watercolours and used the words that come with the fox.

Bicycle

As you may know, I´m from Germany, and the city where I live could be called the capital of bicycles. People say that Muenster has more bikes than inhabitants. Unfortunately it´s also the capital of bike theft - it´s not easy to find someone who has never lost a bike this way. (Two of my own bikes have been stolen, but I got the second one back after 13 months because the police found it - so never give up!)

For many years, I´ve used my bike to get to school (in Bremen, another biking capital), university, and work but payed for this with many bike accidents and damaged knees. So today I like to go to work by bus and use the time reading a book ...

But as I don´t have a driver´s license, I use my bike for all other trips like shopping, visiting friends etc., so I use it several times a week. In Muenster, it´s the fastest way to go from A to B.

I´ve picked "Bicycle" as this week´s theme for the Sunday Postcard Art challenge and can´t wait to see your cards and read about your personal relation to bikes. 

(My card was made using a background paper and bike stamp from Ciao Bella and text stamps from Klartext.)

Bloom & Grow

 
Bloom & Grow is this week´s Sunday Postcard Art challenge theme. For my card I´ve used stamps from Jane Davenport/Spellbinders, Sam Poole/Creative Expressions and Visible Image. 

I´m soooo longing for spring, growing plants, and the smell of flowers!
