Stripe Background

Happy Thursday.  Corrie is setting the challenge at the Stampotique Designers' Challenge Blog and she'd like everyone to make something with a stripy background.

"You can use ink, paint or pens whatever you like, just no ready made stripes with pattern paper."

My solution was to sew stripes of rickrack and have my bouncy little taxi cab right along the bumps.
Beep beep!
 

New York state of mind

It's a stunning sunny morning here in Arizona.  Before I get to my projects for today I thought I would create a simple little card to wish New Yorkers a beautiful peaceful day.
Again I blend old an new images.  Buildings from my Stampotique mini city cube are cut and repeated on a background of linear watercolor washes to emphasize all is bright and beautiful.  Taxi! and Beep Beep is a new two-sided stamp from the recent release.

I hope the sun is shining wherever you are.
 

Stampotique New Image Release

Did you just arrive here from visiting Roc Nicholas ?  Fun right?  If not, we are BLOG HOPPING featuring the new images from Stampotique.  I'm joining the Stampotique Design Team this month to show you my new images and I couldn't resist to use a couple of new ones from Kira Nichols.  So here we go!

set that was in the last release.

 Clouds, trees, shrubs, a little Paris inspiration...

 An up-cycled cigar box --- fun to decorate with Stampotique images.

And little taxi that will travel from Paris to Pisa...

 Beep, beep, honk, honk...

A little cat family

And a family of dogs...
