House of Cards February Challenge

Hi, Everybody! 

 It's time for another new challenge at House of Cards! We have a fabulous inspiration picture and we cannot wait to see what you create with it!
For the next two weeks we're asking for 

CAS CARDS AND/OR CLASSICALLY DESIGNED CARDS
PLUS WE'D LIKE YOU TO BE INSPIRED
BY EITHER THE COLORS OR THE PHOTO
OR BOTH~


summer tones


Isn't this picture gorgeous - I am sure it will inspire you as well!

Here is what I came up with:


I used the Memory Box Woodland Branch die, which I doulbled up to make it a bit more substantial.  The blossoms I made with the Starburst punch from McGill., sponged them and added some Stickles. The sentimant is Papertrey Think Big Favorites. I took some Tim Holtz distress stains and added a bit extra color. I hope you like it and play with us at House of Cards!

I like that you used that branch as a flower stem. I usually see it only as a branch with things hanging from it or birds sitting on it which I like a lot but it's nice to see it used differently! And those blossoms are totally cool!

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...
