TAWS #45


Over at TAWS they have this amazing inspiration photo -




 I was mulling over what to make for a couple of days and finally go to finish my card:



I recently ordered a whole bunch of stamp sets - couldn't resist the discount and got this adorable castle as a freebie! TAWS has the best deals out there - they are so generous!




The sentiment is a combo from two sets - Jibber Jabber and Enchanted. I stamped it with Staz-on onto that cool gold covered paper. This paper was an amazing deal I got from Michaels - $4 for a 24 sheets of different metallic papers - it was one of their Christmas paper pads. It came in so handy for this challenge! I am such a bargain shopper....

Of course I am also linking this up with the Seize the Birthday - Anything Birthday
and the Snippets Playground - the castle is from left over card stock

This is such a fun card. I would have had trouble in using this digi castle, but you have aced it so well. It's wonderful with that scrumptious gold textured paper. Lucky you at getting such a great buy. Guarantee you, it wouldn't happen at our local Mike's. They just don't keep stocked up. Well, I did get some Christmas stamps after the holidays, but while I was away. Loved your card. TFS & Hugs

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...
