Black tie Friday

It's Yellow and Black this week at Black Tie Friday! I pretty much like any color with black - It always makes the colors  pop! And colors I like! Anybody who has come to my blog knows that.....



So here is my take on it: 

I made this flower from six 1 inch circles and assembled them to this rosette. I punched a 2 inch circle into the front of the card and lined up the flower rosette on the inside of the card so that it is centered. I had this chevron strip (Papertrey Zig Zag die) left over from the fusion card - I never throw anything out - you should see my stash of paper scraps - it keeps growing and growing.....And lastly I put a ready made flower into the center of the circle flower.









 
By the way - I did not come up with the circle flower idea - I learned about it last year in the Clean and Simple online class I took. There is no sentiment here - I did not think it needed one.

Stunning card! So bright and bold in the black and yellow and I agree with you, no sentiment needed. Just fabulous.

This card is super cute, I really like the description of jovial on the front and your flower is really neat. Your zig zag is a great accent. Thanks for playing with Black Tie Fridays.

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...
