Play Date Cafe combined with Make it Mondays and CAS-ual Fridays



Look at those colors - I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE those! 





Oh, this is just totally up my alley! So this is what I did: I needed a birthday card. I love those colors - did I mention that before? And at Make it Monday the theme is embossed alphabet - I used a number - I guess you can always stretch those challenges a bit.... And how convenient is that - CAS-ual Fridays theme is Birthday Bash. I usually do not combine three challenges, but what the heck, why not... but those Play Date cafe  colors may go into an second project.....


I die cut the number and clear embossed it with a 100 Proof Press stamp - you can see this better in the close-up photo.




I am also submitting this card to the Divas that Die Cut Paper challenge - the theme is Washi or Birthday card. Obviously its birthday only, no Washi, but I used embossing and a die cut!
and the last challenge I am participating in with this card is KIS - the theme is numbers.


Materials: Papertrey Zig Zag dies, Papertrey Numbers embossing plate, Papertrey By the Numbers die, 100 Proof Press, Martha Stewart punch,sentiment Inkadinkadoo, Perfect Pearls

I was thinking "ahhh" as I saw this card. So cute and perfect for the age - cheery and bright. But here's something else. I, myself, would love to receive this card and I'm "slightly" older than 5.

So glad you also entered the Die Cut Divas' challenge for birthday or Washi tape.

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
