colourQ challenge #178...

The Color Q challenge tempts us this week with this gorgeous inspiration photo:





What a cool shower curtain! I love the fresh look of it. First I was contemplating butterflies for hte card, but this was already done and I wanted something different. somewhere in my stash of unused stamps that I amassed on one of those stamp fairs I found this stamp that I thought goes well with the challenge - and its about time to use it!


In the end I almost messed it up, smudging the sentiment stamp fell out of my hand when I lifted it off the card - I hate, when that happens...But a couple of Stickles dots take care of that problem!
I colored the stamp with Copics, the sentiment is Hero Arts Heart Felt Messages (Cl150).

Today's quote:

No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn't trying.

This card is a real eye catcher. How clever to cover the smudges with stickles. Love it!

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...
