KIS #5 and Tuesday Throwdown

The German KIS challenge has Frame as a theme, and so does the Tuesday Throwdown challenge
A while ago I attended a fabulous class by Fred Mullett and got myself that cool octopus stamp. I thought it pairs well with the framed octopus. I inked it with a multicolored ink pad and I masked the framed octopus stamp. I then inked the upper and left margin of a white card, since I did not have a matching background paper and glued the octopus onto it. No sentiment - it already has one in Japanese - maybe somebody knows, what it says - let me know, that would be interesting!



I hope you like it! Looking forward to your comments ;)

It says: I'd like to be
Under the sea
In an octopus' garden
In the shade.
Well no, just kidding. I like the pairing of the two stamps. Pretty cool card.

I love how you inked up the stamps with that shading, that's gorgeous!
Hm, would be really interesting to know what the semtiment means ;)
Thanks for joining us at KEEP IT SIMPLE!,

Na dann hoffen wir mal dass es keine Schimpfwörter oder so was ähnliches sind! *gg*
Diese Farbabstufung macht sich ganz toll und der Japanische Stil gefällt mir ausgezeichnet.

じゃあね
Liebe Gürüße

Hallo Cornelia,
was für eine außergewöhnliche Karte! Mir gefällt der Farbverlauf in deinen Kraken und das asiatische Thema!
Vielen Dank, dass du bei KEEP IT SIMPLE mitgemacht hast!

Hallo Cornelia,

Anni hat recht - der Farbverlauf ist super! Mein Hingucker ist aber der pinke Rand, den man nur auf zwei Seiten sieht. Diese Anordnung sieht man selten und ich mag das sehr! Ich kann mit solchen Gestaltungselementen irgendwie nicht so gut umgehen.
Danke für's mitmachen bei keep it simple, ich hoffe, Du bist auch nächstes mal wieder dabei!

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...
