Black Tie Friday



One of my all time favorite stamps is the water droplet stamp by Ryn Tanaka. I have used it often. In fact she has come out with new versions of it, I have ordered some, but the order has not yet arrived. Everyday when I check my mailbox I am disappointed - not yet here.... Well, they are coming from Canada - hail to snail mail.....

So when Black Tie Friday had this theme "under the sea" I had to pull this stamp out again. 





I used a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder and sponged it with distress inks. I put little enamel dots on the droplets and used some Washi Tape. The sentiment is by Amuse. I also put Stickles onto the Koi, but it does not show very well...

This is beautiful! I had no idea this was a stamp. It looks 3d and with a shadow.

This card is stellar. I love the dimension that your droplets of water have, it really brings your coy to life. Thank you 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

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...
