Andrea<\/a> was inspired by the myth of Icarus and his doomed flight too close to the sun.\u00a0 She used Carabelle Studio’s Feather and Peacock<\/a> stamp, some subtle scalloped hexagons<\/a> in the background from Pink Pink Posh, and Mama Elephant’s Lots of Letters<\/a> stamps for the sentiment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Anna-Karin<\/a> was inspired by the many many stories she has made up for her sons, and created mini watercolor<\/a> panels to symbolise the different settings the stories take place in.

Macarena<\/a> – inspired by Captain Philips<\/a> – a true touching story converted into a film with Tom Hanks in a main role.
