January Birthday

This card I made for the birthday of a friend. I first stamped the snowflakes (Inkadinkadoo, Penny Black) on the paper with a multicolored ink pad and then ran it through my Big Shot with the Fiskars snowflakes texture plate  This is a new technique for me, therefore into the Simon Says challenge "Something New" it goes. 

The sentiment is Hero Arts - Big Candles. I sponged a little on the sentiment and the borders of the card. The brads I colored with alcohol inks.

Diese Karte finde ich ganz toll. Sie sieht so schön frisch und eisig aus.
Ich weiß nicht warum, aber im Moment stehe ich total auf blau \ôô/ ....obwohl ich eher ein Erdton Fan bin.

Ach ja, ich wollte dir noch sagen von wo ich aus Deutschland komme.
Bestimmt hast du schon vom Further Drachenstich gehört. Da war/bin ich zuhause.
Siehst du, nur ein bisschen mehr als 100 km von Landshut bis Furth im Wald.
Hier in Frankreich lebe ich in der Nähe von Cognac und bin ungefähr 40 km vom Atlantischen Ozean entfernt.
In den USA hätte ich dich schon besuchen können. *lol*
Wir waren 1999 3 Wochen lang im Westen der USA unterwegs und haben dann die letzten drei Tage in New York/Manhattan verbracht. Für mich war es eine der schönsten Reisen meines Lebens. Ich weiß nicht wie das Leben für dich da drüben so ist, aber für mich als Urlauber war es eine herrliche Zeit. Alle Leute denen wir begenet sind waren so freundlich und hilfsbereit und ich träume immer noch davon.
Ich wäre sofort wieder für einen US Urlaub bereit ...obwohl ich eine Riesenangst vorm Fliegen habe.

So, genug gesabbert.
Ich muß noch ein bisschen Futter für den Blog vorbereiten *gg*

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...
