Paper Smooches and Moxie Fab

I never throw anything out, that could be potentially useful...... Probably years ago I got some flowers bouquets wrapped in sheer fabric - one yellow, one orange and I kept that for future use - today is the day! And I do take recycling seriously!


I cut the fabric in triangular strips and layered the strips overlapping onto the card stock. Before that I stamped my sentiment both from the Paper Smooches - Sentiment sampler set. 


I tied a bow around it, underlayed the white center panel with orange strips of paper and mounted the whole thing on a white card with foam spacers. Some enamel dots finish it off!


A close-up picture and below the inspiration photo from the Paper Smooches Sheer and clear challenge:


And the Moxie Fab Birthday card challenge is still ongoing and I will link this card up with it as well.

And now as promised, some more Calgary pics - this time modern art in this wonderful city:











The mesh head and the running horses are my favorites - just amazing! I hope you love it as much as I do! I wish you all a wonderful weekend and thank you for your plentiful, nice and encouraging comments - I love them all!

Und Deine Fotos sind auch grandios.

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
