Coloured

This week the Wednesday Stampers ask for our favourite colouring techniques - here´s mine: I love to combine stamp pads and Polychromos pencils to make backgrounds and to colour my stamped images. The pencils make it possible to draw, write and give shadows, and the combination with stamp pads gives the cards a painted feeling.

More Birds

Two Bird ATCs for a personal trade.

Zetti Architecture

An ATC for an architecture swap, using some lovely Zetti stamps.

Crows Swap Update

More ATCs for this swap are ready now - you can see Tini´s swap ATCs in her blog.
It´s not too late to join the Ravens and Crows swap - if you want to, just drop me a line.

Eyes

"Eyes" is this week´s Wednesday Stampers´ theme. I have many eyes stamps but haven´t had time to make a card until today. This one reflects the idea of changing your perspective in a very simple way.

Blue Period?

Today everything seems to turn out blue ...

Crows Swap Update

This black guy announces a little update on the Crows and Ravens Swap on this blog. I have signed up the following participants: Gisele, Mija Marie, Audrey, Barb, Gaby, and Heather. Ute, Christa, and Sanna will maybe join us, and Leau is interested but I don´t know her address yet. (Please send me a mail, you´ll find a link on top of the right sidebar.)

You can see Gisele´s ATCs already in her blog, but rembember that you only have to send three ATCs until May 1st.

Birds & Nests

These ATCs are for a swap themed "Birds & Nests" - just my theme in these days ...

At the Movies

This week´s Wednesday Stampers´ theme is "At the Movies". I love movies but don´t like pics of actors and films, and most of my favourite movies will be quite unknown. But as I have this lovely Charlie Chaplin stamp I decided to show my version of his "City Lights" (Lichter der Großstadt).

Crows and Ravens

I´ve made these five Crows and Ravens ATCs during the last weeks, willing to swap them one day in my blog - so here´s a little swap for all who are interested! Please write a comment or a mail if you want to join. Let´s say you make three Crows and Ravens ATCs due May 1st ...

Something white

What does White mean to me? Definitely a colour I don´t chose for myself because it makes it difficult to recognize me when I´m standing in front of a white wall ... It stands for innocence, freshness, naivety - no, it´s not my colour at all. But it´s this week´s Wednesday Stampers´ theme, and this Lost Coast stamp looks lovely when it´s combined with some white accessories I think.

Faux Postage

I don´t have much time for art this weekend, so here´s a Faux Postage ATC I´ve made yesterday. I´ve used perforated faux postage paper rusted by my friend Ute - thanks Ute for sending it to me!

A last one

My last ATC for the swap. And now to something completely different!?

The irresistible K ...

... is another green and blue story ... just listen to it!

Feeling blue?

Two more ATCs for the Green and Blue swap - spirals and feeling blue.

Green and blue

Two very different ATCs for a Green and Blue swap.

The first was made with the peeling paint technique and layers of printed vellum and a transparency.

Couples

Two ATCs for a Couple swap.

Journal "Paris"

My entry in a Stefanie´s Journal about Paris combines two preferences of mine, for gloomy songs and for birds. The French word for sparrow is moineau or piaf, so Edith was the Piaf de Paris.

Springtime coming

Hey, it´s March now - does that mean that springtime is coming?

Two Hostess ATCs

Not much time to be creative last week, but at least I´ve made these two Extra ATCs for Keron, the Hostess of the By the Sea swap.
