TAWS #27 and Hello to 3 New Members

I have 3 new members to welcome to my blog. Wow - I am always excited when people join my blog. This is sooooo nice! 

Stempelgaudi - Moni

Julie Juhl - sorry, can't find a link


Go by and visit their blogs - there are lots of great finds there.

And as you may have seen - I have a welcome picture for all my Newbies:




I think for now I am sticking with nature photos, just because its still such a wonderful spring and everything is in bloom. This photo I took 2 years ago and it was slightly later in the year, so the tulips ere on their way out. But I still really like this tulip - past its prime, but still amazing.


--X--

Look at this inspiration photo! That is just up my alley - and its from the Alley Way Stamps challenge

                                                            

I just ordered some stamps from them - I could not resist their latest release, but they won't arrive in time, so I had to use the free digis. I have said this before - digital stamps are really not my thing - I only use them if I absolutely have to - like now.....So here is my take on it:



The colors are a bit brighter than I wanted, but I guess this poster is from the fifties and has aged a bit.....Who knows how this card will look in 60 years  - just kidding....

And as luck will have it - Addicted to CAS has a Rainbow challenge going on right now - of course I am entering this card!

OK, I usually don't swear, but some less than lady like words just came out of my mouth when I saw this awesome, jawdropping card (in a good way, if that's possible!). The narrowing rainbow (genius!!!) and the drama of the black background are just so AMAZING! Now I'll go wash my mouth out with soap!

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...
