August Guest Designer!

Today I get the pleasure of sharing with your our 2nd guest designer. Her name is Conny and she comes to us all the way from Germany!

Conny had this to say about herself:
"I am 50 years old, married and live with my husband in a small village, Ense, in Germany.
Our children are grown up and study far away from home.
To our household belongs a cat – as is customary for a stamping artist ;-)

If I don’t stamp I like to read (crime fiction), I like black humor and good dinners, meetings with friends or enjoy to relax in the silence of the garden.

12 years ago I bought my first stamp, without knowing what to do with this little thing.
But the image (a little rabbit) was so cute, I coudn`t resist.  Some months later I found an article about stamped cards.
“Wow, that`s what those things are made for”
Beside the article was the advertisement from a rubberstamp manufacturer who offered a catalog. I ordered this and …
the rest - I`m sure - you know from your own experience.

Most of all I like the different options rubber stamping can give. I enjoy to share my ideas with other stampers. I like the give and take of ideas and inspiration around the stamping world.
"

She brings us two beautiful black and white pieces today:
Steampunk Rhino:

Conny says:
"Stamp rhino “Steampunk Rhino 3 1/4 x 2” with black StazOn ink onto glossy paper and cut out.
Emboss black paper with the Embossing folder “Clockworks” and cut to size.
Attach the brad on the rhino and then glue Rhino onto the embossed black paper.
Mat first on white, then on black cardstock.
Embellish with 2 gear wheels from Stampo's Steampunk Sprockets & Gears & Stuff"

and
Call Me, Maybe:

Conny says:
"Such kind of ATCs can arise from a catchy song

“Call Me Maybe” by Carly Rae Jepsen

Stamp woman(now retired) with black StazOn onto Glossy Paper, cut out and affix it on scrapbook paper.

Cut to size. Layer with white and black cardstock. Finally attach the printed words."
