TAWS#35 and Less is More #134

Hi Everyone, 

I am playing again in the TAWS challenge - (scroll down for the Less is more challenge) - and in the Seize the Birthday challenge - anything goes Birthday. Below you can see the inspiration picture for TAWS. I was tempted to do the chalkboard technique, but then in the end decided against it - I wanted to keep it clean....



I used 3 of my TAWS stamp sets for this: 
Bird Brain, Jibber Jabber and All about YOU.




The white sentiment is heat embossed, the birds are colored with Copics. Two enamel dots to finish it of.

The challenge at Less is More is Washi Tape - so its going to be a quick card. I have some Halloween washi tapes and I decided to use them finally....



The stamps are Studio G and craft smart (Michaels)


I white embossed them and put tiny red perfect pearl dots as spider eyes - not sure if you can see them.

Thanks for stepping by!

Hi Cornelia,
It's amazing how you can keep your cards clean and simple - I tried it, but it's hard, I keep messing up :P.
Anyway, one of the cards I made was inspired by a post of yours, but I can't find it now. I think I copied almost everything from your card so I really want to link to that post.
It's a one layer card, where you had to make your own border. You made it using a mask. I can't remember the colour, but I think it was a leaf stamp / colour. And I also think it had the text "Enjoy the little things in life" on it. (That's the text that I put up on it, and I remember thinking the text in the card I saw was stamped much straighter.)
At least I hope it was on your blog that I saw it, else I don't know where to begin to find the blogpost... I hope you can help me with it!
greetings,
Debbie.

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...
