Simply Create Too Design Team

Hallo, 

I am so excited to announce that I am now part of the Simply Create Too Design Team!


I could not tell anybody about this until today - the day of the official new design team member announcement!

I am very proud to be chosen into this fantastic team. I was a little nervous at first, but everybody has been so welcoming and nice and has put me at ease. 
I made this card for the first challenge - it is "Anything Goes" - actually my favorite type of challenge. Although it is a little different if you know that you are supposed to be the "inspiration". Usually if I see a challenge like that I just participate with whatever I have.....

I decided to use my all time favorite stamp for this occasion - the famous water droplet stamp by Ryn Tanaka




I used distress inks for a watercolor background. The Japanese maple leaves are by Stamp Camp and the sentiment is from Heidi Grace Designs by Fiskars.


I put little enamel dots on the drops and went over every drop to take away some of the underlying color to make them more 3-D. I saw that somewhere on Ryn's facebook site. This make a huge difference and it shows better in the detail pics than in the picture of the entire card.


I have some more Ryn cards coming up - she has created different water drop stamps and I immediately ordered some - although I really should have ordered ALL of them..... Next time I won't make that mistake again....


As things go - I may as well participate in the Moxie Fab watercolor challenge with this card.

I am glad I can share my joy with you - have a great day and thank you all for you kind comments!

Hey Cornelia, a BIG huge congratulations on your first DT position :) I've enjoyed all of the cards that you have shared with me so far so I can certainly understand you being offered a DT position. This one is gorgeous! hehe, the funny thing is that I never noticed that technique with lifting ink out of the Droplets. Always something to learn. Thanks for the kind words :)

Wow, dieser Wassertropfenstempel hat eine magische Wirkung auf mich und ich habe ihn schon vor nicht all zu langer Zeit bei dir bewundern können!!
Deine Karte ist ein richtiger Hingucker und du hast gut daran getan, noch ein paar Highlights auf die Tropfen zu setzen. Sie sehen verblüffend echt aus und es kommt noch mehr Tiefe ins Bild!!
Ich bin wirklich tief beeindruckt von dieser Karte!

Ach ja, ich hab mir den Blog angeguckt und ich dein Portrait gesehen! Siehst sehr sympathisch aus und jetzt habe ich endlich ein Bild vor Augen, wenn ich dir schreibe ;-)
Amazing news! I'm so glad for you!
The card you've created is awesome! Good DT member job!
Gorgeous card, love what you've done with Ryn's water droplets and the leaves. Have a great day, Shirleyx

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

Combined So Suzy and The Ton Blog Hop

Hi Everyone, I am sooooo excited to be part of this amazing event - a combined hop between So Suzy Stamps and The Ton! I have been eyeing The Ton stamps and dies for quite a while - they are just gorgeous! And So Suzy - well you have seen their stamps on my blog - they are simply fabulous! I also love that they are made from rubber - its different stamping with them. Its much better for generational stamping and they don't stick to your paper when you use your Misti. You may have arrived from the fabulous  Eunji - its a hard act to follow her.... I got those gorgeous  Peonies Dies  from The Ton and die cut them with water color paper. Spritzed Dylusion inks on a sheet of plastic and dipped the dies into the colors. Mounted them onto black card stock. Added the So Suzy Birthday sentiment - heat embossed in white. Lastly I added a strip of envelope liner paper at the bottom. Here are my supplies: So Suzy Birthday sentiment ,  Peo...
