Z as in ...

Zoo :-)
Not that this is a favourite thing of mine, but with the ingredients of the new TIO challenge (the letter Z and a face) this is what came to my mind, considering the stamps I own.

stamps I used:
man: oxford impressions
elephant: acapella stempel
giraffe: katzelkraft
bird: crafty individuals
letters: artemio
plus: a small stencil

The background is made with Adirondack colorwash and muted down with panpastel white, the images were stamped with different Archival inkpads and colored with watercolor pens.

Thanks so much for stopping by and having a look. Have a great day, all you welcome visitors and much appreciated followers :-D

Hugs, Suzanne xxx

just random stamps ...

yes, it's a card again.
I love these cards that just develop without thinking and with stamps that are lying around.
This is one of them:

stamps: katzelkraft (monkey), paper artsy.
background: dylusion sprays.

Thanks for looking.
Hugs, Suzanne xxx

Now finally he's moved in with me :-D

Stamps: Katzelkraft, Tim Holtz

And a scrap of the same background :-) stamps: see above.

es schneit ... / let it snow ...

Ich habe diese Karte grad schnell für einen Adventskalender gemacht, das DP gefällt mir so gut und die Empfängerin mag gerne blau ;o) und sie passt rein zufällig zu Iris' derzeitiger Challenge 'let it snow'.

I just made this quick card for an advent calendar, I love the design paper and the person who will get it likes blue very much.
It's my entry for Irishteddy's challenge 'let it snow'.
