colourQ challenge #192

A geometric pattern is the inspiration photo at the colourQ - that is for me!



So I fiddled round with tiny paperstrips to recreate the pattern and I am quite happy with the result - it was worth my time  - what do you think? I left out the black squares - I wanted it to be a bit softer....




The die cut is from Memory Box - Chloe Stem, Hero Arts Essential Messages. Here is a close up:


This is my second post today, but I did not wan tot miss the deadline for the challenge... I wish everybody a good night! Yawn....

Very pretty! Wow, this took lots of patience but worth it. I like the black out too.

I love this - and that you took the time to do it. I saw a LO once with mosaics and thought it would be cool on a card. Somehow. Great job.

I like it! I don't know if it is intentional of not, but I like how the tiles aren't totally lined up so you can see some shadows around them, and that the space between tiles varies a bit. Makes it very realistic, and emphasizes it's handwork and individual tiles.
And to that random pattern is great - I always find it hard to make a semi random pattern, involuntarily I do sort of use a pattern (after 2 whites I want another colour etc).
I love the die cut too.

Hallo Cornelia!
Deine Karte ist wunderschön. Diese "Flechterei" war bestimmt sehr arbeitsintensiv.
Liebe Grüße Sigi

Oh my goodness, you are amazing! I thought about doing what you did but that thought only lasted less than a second. This is one amazing card, you are one amazing crafter too. Love it!

Eine tolle Karte!
War bestimmt eine ziemliche Tüftelei, all die kleinen Quadrate zusammenzusetzen!! Mir gefällt sie total gut!

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...
