CAS-ual Fridays - CFC83

As usual - kind of a t the last minute, I made a crad for the CAS-ual Fridays challenge#83, which this time has teamed up with Paulina's 10 minute craft dash. Since New Year is part of the holiday season, I thought this card is just right. The frog is from Sparkles and Sprinkles, the sentiment is Hera Arts. I clear embossed the frog - thinking that would make coloring easier. I used my Copic markers. I masked the "Y" from year, since the Martini glass has a perfect "Y"-shape. My husband however went: "Happy New EAR - what's that?"

It took me exactly 9 minutes and 23 seconds to make this card.

I also drew inspiration from the ever so clever Ardyth, who used a baby bottle to stand for the "i" in girl.


I also submitted this card to the Less is More challenge - the theme is "drinks" and to the CASology #25 challenge - the theme is "NEW".

Hallo "Landsmännin"
ich bin aus Bayern und lebe schon seit über 30 Jahren in Frankreich. Freut mich, dass ich über deinen noch ganz jungen Blog gestolpert bin.
Deine Karte ist herrlich und du hast das Motiv toll coloriert. Der Frosch gefällt mir ausgezeichnet! Auch was du sonst noch so bastelst, finde ich sehr interessant.
Bin auch eher ein CAS-Fan, mache aber auch des öfteren aufwendigere Karten. Je nach Lust und Laune...

Ganz liebe Grüße sendet dir ....Rosi

"ever so clever", huh? I don't feel like that most of the time! lol! I love how you used the martini glass as the 'y' and I love how you tipped the whole thing a little bit - always fun to be a little tipsy at New Years! Thanks so much for playing along with us at CASology this week, Cornelia!

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

Some more Christmas Cards...

Hi Everyone, there still are some Christmas cards  I made awhile ago and have not yet posted.... This one I made for the  Runway Inspired Challenge . The inspiration photo is below. I found it a little tricky to make this into a Christmas card, but with the help  of Neat&Tangled stamps it worked....The stitched dies are by Simon Says. Added some Washi tape on top (the headdress) and silver glitter paper at the bottom (the floor and silver shoes) and voila a Christmas card! My second card I made with an iStencil, gold embossing paste, faux pearls, an enamel dot and lots of splatters. The stitched die I cut the Kraft panel with is by Simon Says. I love this stencil and stenciled cards are just so quick and easy to make. I used this one for several cards this year, on of which you can see HERE . http://www.istencils.com/store/products/22-00029 I am linking up this card with: Stamps and fun=Creativity - Christmas U...
