Chinese Lanterns

Autumn colors is the challenge this month at Lavinia stamps. I choose yellow, orange and green.



I stamped the Chinese Lanterns in black and colored them with Copics. I put glossy accetns on the lanterns and let it dry. Then  I sponged around the lanterns after masking  off a square. All it need now is a sentiment, which it will get depending on the occasion I'll use it for...I hope you like it. Its pretty late now - I wish you all a good night!

This is fabulous, Cornelia! Love those Chinese lanterns. Reminds me of my Mom, as for years she would grow them wherever we lived. :-)

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
