TAWS# 40 and Good Bye to Cath

Hi, my friends,

 I am back with a new card - I have been insanely busy with work, so I had to take a break. But tonight I freed up some time. I wanted to play with the TAWS challenge and I also wanted to make a card for Cath, who is leaving - how sad for all of us! I really enjoyed her challenges, her inspiration pics and all the fun she brought to blogland. Her posts on Moxie Fab always put a smile on my face. I discovered so many things thanks to Cath. Her generosity is amazing! 

So here is my card for you Cath::


You were an inspiration to all of us and you encouraged us to tackle new territories with your challenges. 
I enjoyed your amazing pictures you shared with us.
You brightened my days.
I will miss you!
I wish you well in your future endeavors.
Perhaps you will not vanish completely.

Many hugs,
Cornelia

I used my favorite TAWS set Bird Brain. I heat embossed the birds, colored them with Copics and fuzzu cut them. The sentiments are TAWS - all about YOU. Used a Martha Stewart punch and some patterned paper.




I later decided to put tiny gems into the crown, but I only had yellow ones in that size. I do like the gem-less version a tick better. 


          

The other challenge I will link this card up with are:
Snippets Playground - use snippets
Paper Players - Wildlife

So if you want to say good-bye to Cath too, then make a card - it does not need to be a need one and link it up HERE. I am sure she'll appreciate that!


 I had fun making this card! Have a nice evening!

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...
