Hero Arts Scramble #73

Hi, today my friend Kanan was hosting the Scramble over at the Hero Arts flickr group. I had to play, of course....

She had some challenging themes:

P-1 : Old Fashioned & Earth -

Old-fashioned – something inspired by vintage design or old look

Earth – your own interpretation of the word earth (say, earthy colors (shades of brown, blues, greens...any other you can think of) , the shape of earth)

OR

P-2 : Simplicity & Layers -

Simplicity – displaying a clean and simple design

Layers – you can use layered stamping technique or layers of papers or both, the choice is yours.

Of course I had to do the second options - easier and suits me better....




I used the Hero Arts Zig Zag Background Cling stamp at an angle, layered some Washi tape across, but the thinner one I first put on card stock paper, since I did not like the see-through of the background. I punched the speech bubbles and stamped the words inside. The little ampersand is Hero arts as well. Added some liquid pearls. 

And then I made a second card - Christmas themed, of course.....


All stamps are from the Hero Arts Decorate your Holidays set, except the strings, which are by Mama Elephant - Party Kit


I put some bling on the baubles.

Thanks for hosting this Kanan - I had so much FUN!

Thanks once again, Cornelia for playing in my first Scramble. I love both your cards, so beautiful!! Great use of washi tapes and the ornaments look so gorgeous. I can hardly make one card within 90 minutes, you did a great job with two cards. :-)

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
