TAWS RE-Be Inspired Challenge #30... - 3 days


I really struggled with this inspiration picture - no offense, but it somehow looks quite unappealing to me....


But since it s a challenge I wanted to be challenged - ha, ha...and I wanted to use my new stamp set Sea Mates - actually that was the main reason I played in the TAWS challenge.....





I tried to make the frame look like an aquarium - I raised it with foam dots. I colored the fish with Copics, after I heat embossed them. The background is watercolor paper with distress inks.

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
