Color Q combined with Colours and Sketches


Here are the two challenges - one sketch, one color challenge

                 


By pure change on one of my latest Michaels visits I bought this Washi tape and they had cork Stickers - both were on sale, of course....

I mounted the Washi tape on cardstock and cut out the bottom triangle to make it into a banner. The birthday die cut is from Papertrey and the little happy stamp is from Stampendous.

I will also submit this to the Die-cut Divas April challenge - Washi or Birthday challenge.




I am not sure which background I like better, so I kept both photos. What do you think?

Fro now I am going back into my garden - there is weeding to be done......

Cork and floral ... great combination! On the background, I typically prefer a white background, except when the card is mostly white. It all depends though : )

Cork and floral is great. So glad you entered the Die Cut Divas' challenge this month.

Btw, I like the dark background because it makes everything sharper and brings out the details... but that's just my view. Everyone is different and there is no right or wrong. :)

Love your card! So pretty!
Cork banner is amazing touch.
I like more the first background. It matches the cork and white card base doesn't blend with background.

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
