I combined it with the sketch challenge from CAS Colours and Sketches. The sentiment stamps are from Penny Black Party Time and Wonderful and the rest is Stampsmith stamps and Memory Box.

And lastly I wanted to share a card with you, that my friend Susanne sent me for my blog anniversary: -

How sweet! It is so much fun, getting real mail and this was so unexpected and such a lovely surprise! Thank you Susanne, I still have a big smile on my face because of you :)

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
