Pinspired #6 and CAS on Sunday

Here is a challenge for me: Pinspired #6


                                                        

The last time I used nail polish was in my  teenage years and that was several lifetimes ago.....But I do like some glitter on my cards, sometimes....

So here is my take on it:









I cut up strips of white cardboard, smeared them with inks in different colors and covered them with UTEE several times - always melting the stuff in between to get a thick layer on it. Once that was achieved, I dusted gold glitter on top and it stuck, because the Utee was still hot....I inked up the Hero Arts Zig Zag Background Cling with Versamark and stamped the card. The sentiment is a Studio 112 stamp (on foam dots) and the gold glitter strip I made with double sticky tape. This all sounds somewhat complicated, but it really wasn't.

I am also linking this card with the CAS on Sunday challenge - the theme is "Thank you".

Hallo! Oh, die Karte ist toll! Danke für Deinen Kommentar auf meinem Blog! Diese Punkte sind enamel dots und die gibts von vielen Herstellern. Bis jetzt kenn ich sie von My Mind's Eye, Basic Grey und Echo Park. Wenn Du in den USA bist, bekommst Du sie ganz leicht bei 2peas oder jedem anderen online shop. Liebe Grüsse, Vanessa

Hey Cornelia, I remember commenting on this card earlier however, it doesn't appear in the list of comments for some reasons. By the way, I like this card by all means, especially with all the glitters and bright colored banners on your card, great take on the challenge.

Also thank you so much for reminding me to comment on your blog candy, but I do have a comment posted dated 4th April.Please let me know if you have trouble seeing my comments on your blog, so that I can resubmit them. :-)

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...
