Two cards- several challenges


When my son saw this inspiration picture from the very first colour me challenge he exclaimed - "you have to play in this challenge" - and guess what - he was right!


   
I took a very literal approach here, since that picture is just perfect! Here is my card:


Since it also kind of fits the sketch from the Friday Mashup I'm linking it there as well.


Materials:
 Die and sentiment by Avery Elle, 
stamp: Close to my Heart One Way Borders Flair
Paper Candi buttons

I am linking this card with the Snippets Playground - used several Snippets here

Here is the inspiration picture for this weeks Color Throwdown






I finally stocked up on my Neat and Tangles stamp supply and now own several sets! Yeahh, I finally can play better in the Neat and Tangled challenge, called Little Tangles.

The two stamp sets I used are Everyday Labels and Party Dots. I also used Washi tape, stuck it onto white card stock, since I did not want it to be transparent and punched a 2"circle. The sentiment is heat embossed.

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
