Two New Members and Two Cards

Hallo Everybody,

today I want to welcome 2 new readers to my blog:

Dewi from Indonesia

and

Nicole - BaNiKa from Germany

I am so happy you found me and hopefully you will enjoy your future visits here as well. I found a welcome picture for you in my "stash" - perfect for this time of the year:


Its a Dogwwood - they are flowering right now, but I took this picture 2 years ago when I visited the Walter Reeds Arboretum near my home in New Jersey.

--X--

But now back to cards.......



I made this card for two challenges. One is Less is Moore, which is a sketch challenge this week and the second challenge is Simply Create Too, where the theme is "All about Babies". I have copied the sketch below. The sentiment is from Kaisercraft. And since its "Anything goes" at Simon Says" I am linking this card with them as well.



The second card is done with the ink blowing technique that I tried yesterday (see details on that post). It is just too much fun not to do it again. 



The sentiment is from Papertrey - Modern Basics. I also used some Memory Box pearls. I am linking this card with the Make it Monday challenge #114

Thank you all for your lovely comments - you always make my day with them.

Hallo Cornelia!

Mensch, die Karten sind wieder klasse geworden!
Richtig süß, wie die kleine Giraffe oben aus dem Fenster linst.

Und die Farben auf der 2. Karte!! PENG, KRACH, wenn das mal nicht gute Laune macht - ein richtiges Farbgewitter :-D

Übrigens: Nein, ich bin dir nicht böse wegen dem Kommentar zu der Karte (du weisst schon welche ich meine ;-) ) - schließlich ist es Deine persönliche Meinung, und warum sollte man jemandem "Honig ums Maul schmieren", wenn einem etwas nicht gefällt :-)
Im Gegenteil, ich mag es wenn jemand seine ehrliche Meinung sagt (schreibt)!

Viele liebe Grüße, und ich freue mich auf alle weiteren Kommentare von dir ;-)

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...
