Faux Postage Stamps: Weihnachten
5 hours ago
Tuesday, 7 April 2020
...is the theme of this month's challenge on the Stamping Sensations blog. I'd just told someone I'd taken out my splatter stamp background, made last year with this gorgeous Inkylicious stamp, and it just happens to be a rainbow. So I just needed to find a suitable image and some words...these Lavinia geese seemed to work really well. They look to me as if they're searching for the rainbow and are now looking to see what the 'pot of gold' is! I love this image. I love rainbow backgrounds but it's always difficult to choose a suitable coloured card for them. This one worked well today.
The challenge over at My Inkie Fingers is Make it Pop.
I made this card yesterday, using the newish Pink Ink flying pig stamp - it comes with dies, too, but I think they're pretty simple images to fussy cut. I stamped a couple of times and added foam tape to make the top ear and wing stand out - that seems to qualify for 'Make it Pop'!
I may just have to cut that border off because it's very limiting...I'm not a fan of square or rectangle borders on stamps. I did use the die cut for the words on this card, but won't in future. I don't really like 'cut around' words. It was fun to colour this, but until I cut off that border, I think I'll be using Miss Piggy on her own.
I'd also like to link to the Penny Black & More Anything Goes challenge.
I set a challenge for my FB group, last month - Flowers, to make it simple and here's one of the cads I made for it. I'm enjoying making backgrounds with the AAll and Create dotty stamp and stencil but I'm probably using them too much 😉
I love this flower and just ordered the larger ones, so I'll be journalling those in a day or two. It's really good not to feel bad about spending too much time stamping 😊😁

Great cards. I agree with you those geese are perfect for that rainbow background.
That flowers card is simply beautiful, the background is awesome.
But I have to admit my favourite card is the second one, that stamp is the best I love it.
Hugs, María.
Was für tolle Karten!! Die machen bestimmt viel Freude, besonders über das geflügelte Schweinchen hab ich gelacht.
Danke, dass du bei Paperminutes mitgemacht hast.
Liebe Grüße -

Lovely makes Cath. Thanks for sharing your beautiful rainbow themed card with us at Stamping Sensations!
Cath I love that first one and I don't mind the frame at all. The flowers are really lovely and that pig.... Well you just fill me up with art today. Thank you. Be Safe and Elbow Hugs.
I have been eyeing that Piggy stamp at an online store. It's nice to see your beautiful card (and now I am really really tempted.) And the rainbow background is also fabulous. Well all your cards are once again super Cath. Stay well so we can see more cards another day. Hugs-Erika
All are such beautiful creations with these wonderful stamps and gorgeous colors!
Thank you so much for sharing with us at Penny Black and More challenge!

I think the splatter stamp works amazingly well with inky rainbow backgrounds and yours is gorgeous. I think the Lavinia stamps work just perfectly with the silhouette geese against your colourful background. Your other cards are lovely too. Thank you for joining us in our 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' challenge at Stamping Sensations and good luck. Sandra x

Such a pretty card! We do require that you link back to the actual blog post (not the blog) I will give you the link. If you can update the link you will qualify for the winners prie =) https://myinkiefingers.blogspot.com/2020/04/mifc011.html
Thanks for playing along with us!
You have created a super card that fun image Cath and loving the hot pinks. The rainbow creation is perfect for our theme and of course the flowers totally appeal. Many thanks for joining in with our April themes at Penny Back and More and Stamping Sensations challenges.
Many thanks for your kind words the other day, we all deal with situations in different ways and I know from speaking to lots of crafts their inky hobby is helping no end and I derive pleasure from seeing what they create. I've no doubt that my mojo will return in time, it's just frustrating it's taking so long.

Cannot believe I have missing in action for so long Cath - my apologies. Nice for me though as I get to see so much of your lovely work in the one visit.
The rainbow card is very cheerful, I like the stamp of the ducks - so useful for so many cards and the one you used for the rainbow is now on my wish list. Maybe the ducks should join in?
I do like your pink pig, she is great and suggests a very happy moment as she dances through the field of flowers. I cannot see anything wrong with the border but I do get your meaning about being restrictions Perhaps you should stamp several images before you take the border away. Love how you coloured her wings, reminds me of the bee that resides on my window sill.
Lastly, I can understand why you love that stencil so much, I would too - and the flower image. Both used together make a beautiful card Cath. Classy!
Sending love

Beautiful makes, Cath, And a stunningly beautiful creation for our Stamping Sensations challenge. Thanks for your lovely words on my blog too. Thank goodness for our hobbies! Take care lovely xxx
A fabulous rainbow background for those delightful ducks - love the splattery edges - and the delicate shading of the aqua petals of the flowers in the last card is wonderful. The dancing pig made me smile - she's a real treat.
