Two Cards - Four Challenges


At One Layer Wednesday the challenge is "WARM". Clearly this funky bird got inspired by that. He looks quite cozy in his scarf, stockings and sneakers! 
  CAS-ual Fridays likes their cards long and short this week. So this card is for both challenges.



The bird is ancient and is from Stamps Happen. I colored him with Copics. The sentiment is partially from Snag'em Stamps.

And then 2 more!

COLOR Q challenge#172

combined with

CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge #11






The diamonds are Lifestyle crafts, clear embossed with the Hero Arts Magical background stamp (CG211), the sentiment is Papertrey. The left half of the card is covered with vellum.

Zwei schöne Karten! Über die erste muß ich ein bisschen schmunzeln. Es scheint ihm ziemlich kalt zu sein. Tolle Farben hast du verwendet!
Bei der zweiten ist es eher ...Ah, wie elegant! Mit nur vier Rauten hast du eine echt schöne CAS Karte gestaltet!!

Co-ordinated socks and scarf - a bird after my own heart. This is a cool card and so is the geometric one.

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
