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.

P.S.: Looks like I´m unable to comment on WordPress even with a different email addy, my comments just didn´t show up.

Stamping is Colourful

 
I´ve made a relatively clean card for this year´s stamping project at Heindesign themed "Stamping is colourful". Just a few stamps from Concord&9th, Visible Image and Ciao Bella, and a bit of watercolour, that´s all. It was sent naked without envelope, and I´m glad that it arrived in good condition ...

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. 

Cats and Dogs

 
Heindesign´s annual stamping project is themed "Cats and Dogs" this year. I´ve used stamps from Ranger/Dina Wakley, The Sassy Club, Stempelbar, AALL&Create and Concord&9th for my card.
