House of Cards #2

The sketch challenge at House of Cards is cute and fun for this week. I picked up this cute Penny Black  spider stamp a couple of weeks ago and I was itching to use it....so I made an early Halloween card ..... why not, after all I have been making occasional Christmas cards for the last couple of weeks.



I stamped the big spider web (no idea what company) onto grey card stock and cut out the circle with a Spellbinders die. The sentiment strip I made with a Martha Stewart punch and white embossed  the sentiment - also Martha Stewart. Added some brads and stamped the little spider into the net (colored with nail polish)


I stamped the CUTE spider onto white cardstock, sponged around the circle a bit and colored the spider with Copics. I assembled the flap. Lastly I sponged around the edges of the grey cardstock.
I know some of you don't like spiders, but this one is cute, isn't it? and the flap is FUN - right? At least I think so!


This is the sketch.

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...
