Twinery Challenge #8 and Make It Monday #129

Did you know that there is a challenge going on at the Twinery? This is the inspiration picture:


                                                                


It inspired me to make a card for my son's best friends upcoming birthday.



It was kind of tricky to wrap the twine around the numbers - especially with the 1 - I started with that one. The 2 went better - I figured out how to do that. The trick is glossy accents on the back of the number....
I used some Washi tape and the sentiment is from Paper Smooches - Sentiment sampler. The "th" is from the word "thanks" partially inked up....

And here is another card I made - this is for the Make It Monday challenge. Heather Campbell is reviving the white crayon resist technique. It is pretty simple, but it does not come out exact. The crayon does not cover an area well, so there may be little areas uncovered, which will pick up ink, when you go over it with your blending tool or sponge.... 


I still kind of like it, although it reminds me a bit about Swiss cheese...

I used the Papertrey Polka Dot Basics set. The sentiment is Papertrey Wonderful Words Hello.

Have a great day and thanks for visiting my blog!

Hallo Cornelia,
beide Karten gefallen mir sehr gut. Die umwickelten zahlen sind super. Ich kann mir sehr gut vorstellen, dass man dabei fast die Krise bekommt.
Auch der "Schweizer Käse" macht sich gut, eine Inspiration für ähnliche Bastelarbeiten.
LG. Flo

This is so much fun! Your white crayon shows up fine against that beautiful ombré.

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...
