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

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...
