CASology and Paper Players

It has been almost a week for me without making a card......that was not my choice, just too many other things happening. Mainly work.....Hopefully next week will be better, although we are having visitors for the next two and a half weeks and I want to spend some time with them, too.

I wanted to play with CASology all week long, finally I had a few minutes to make this:


The cue work is PAINT. I took some acrylic paint, spread a strip of it onto the card stock and then took one of those cake decorating thingies from my kitchen drawer and made the vertical strips. I guess a comb would work too.


The sentiment is by Hero Arts. Heat embossed in white. Enamel dots. 
Hmm, looking at that card I can see lots of possibilities ......I think I'll keep that thing now in my craft room...
Below is that thing:


And here is wanted to share a different kind of visitor, which we discovered last night on the roof: You see, we still have snow, its supposed to snow a bit tonight again....


For you, who don't know those animals - its a racoon - they are feisty and fearless little things, actually not so little, they are extremely skilled in opening garbage cans and then distributing the garbage all over the yard....but oh, so cute!

Whoa - new and different and oh-so-cool. The card, not the critter. You definitely don't want him getting into your chimney or attic.

Die Karte ist super. Ja, man wird im Laufe der Zeit erfinderisch, welche "Hilfsmittel" man nimmt/braucht, um interessante Karten zu gestalten.
Solche "Untermieter" braucht kein Mensch. Bei uns hier treiben sie überall ihr Unwesen - leider.
Ein Waschbär, wir haben "nur" einen Marder!! Ich weiß nicht, was besser ist!
Die Karte ist ganz toll, super Idee, ich gehe gleich mal in den Werkzeugkeller ! Kölle Alaaf Elisabeth

So. COOL! Love the vibrant colours on the grey and the really neat technique. I think it looks like one of those sound bar charts (I have no idea what they're called, but you see them on stereos and sound equipment). Thanks for joining us at CASology!

I love your artsy card, Cornelia. Beautiful colors, love your creativity.

That raccoon looks cute in the picture but in real they look so scary, we see them a lot around here. :-)

Cornelia, this is so striking and urban graphic and I love it!
Kim Heggins said…
Oh...what a sweet little critter! But you card is stunning, so amazing and so stinkin' creative. That bright orange stands out so much, it almost looks like it pops off your card, I love it!

Wow, eine tolle Technik auf deiner Karte! Muß ich mir unbedingt merken :)

Katzelkraft - Stampotique Raven

Hi Everyone, Do you know that   Katzelkraft has aquired Stampotique stamps? This fun raven is designed by Daniel Torrente (#6314). I used an old background from my stashs.  I stamped the bird and colored it with alcohol ink markers.  I brushed distrss ink onto the background and added some pattern with the   Mandala Magic stencil  from Funky Fossil Designs.I used one of the border stamps on the left for more interest.  Stamped the sentiment  and doodled a frame around the sentiment.Added a googly eye to the bird and drew in some eye lashes.  The stamps I used are from the following sets: Spiral Borders - KTZ286,  Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276  (FRANCE) Spiral Borders  - KTZ286 , Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276 (USA) Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration.  Thanks for visiting! Happy Stamping! Linking up with: Simon Says Wednesday challenge  - fur or feathers

Combined So Suzy and The Ton Blog Hop

Hi Everyone, I am sooooo excited to be part of this amazing event - a combined hop between So Suzy Stamps and The Ton! I have been eyeing The Ton stamps and dies for quite a while - they are just gorgeous! And So Suzy - well you have seen their stamps on my blog - they are simply fabulous! I also love that they are made from rubber - its different stamping with them. Its much better for generational stamping and they don't stick to your paper when you use your Misti. You may have arrived from the fabulous  Eunji - its a hard act to follow her.... I got those gorgeous  Peonies Dies  from The Ton and die cut them with water color paper. Spritzed Dylusion inks on a sheet of plastic and dipped the dies into the colors. Mounted them onto black card stock. Added the So Suzy Birthday sentiment - heat embossed in white. Lastly I added a strip of envelope liner paper at the bottom. Here are my supplies: So Suzy Birthday sentiment ,  Peo...
