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.

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

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!

Mirror Image Stamping with So Suzy and the MISTI

Hi Everyone, I am so happy to be part of this wonderful event - the collaboration between So Suzy and the MISTI from My Sweet Petunia doing mirror image stamping.  This event is going on for the ENTIRE  MONTH! We are demonstrating the  Mirror Image Stamp    which coordinates with the Misti Stamping Tool! All month long, different bloggers will post a card using the  Mirror Image Stamp .  In my tutorial today, I will show you how use the  Mirror Image Stamp  on your cards. You can basically double your stamp supplies that way! The  mirror image stamp  is  a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of red rubber with no foam backing. So much larger than the other mirror image stamps out there and therefore much more useful!

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

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...
