Paper Smooches and Welcome to a New Member!

My membership has kind of stalled lately, so I am especially excited to welcome Cecilia Hsieh to my blog! (At least nobody has left my blog recently - I am happy for that...)
Cecilia is from Melbourne, Australia and makes beautiful cards - go over to her blog and see for yourself!

As for all new members I have a welcome picture for you:


It is by  Mario Armengol and I found it strolling through Calgary on my recent visit there. It is called "The Family of Man" The statues are 21 feet tall and really impressive. I was very touched by them. I hope you like your welcome picture!

--X--

And now lets get back to card making.....

I made this card for the Paper Smooches spark challenge. I used one of their free digi stamps, printed it 3 times and fuzzy cut it. I arranged the hearts on white card stock, drew the stems and added the sentiment from the Paper Smooches - Sentiment sampler and some sequins,



I am starting to warm up to pink - especially the neon variety.


I hope you like it. Below you see the sketch.


I am also submitting this card to the MONOCHROMATIC  challenge at Simon Says.

And once again I want to thank everybody for visiting my blog and leaving comments - I just love it, when you do that!

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
