LOVE for several challenges and Welcome to 3 new Members


How exciting - I can welcome 3 new members to my blog! I am happy to see you here. Let me greet you properly

Mrs. Duck - otherwise known as Ang
Kathy K
Yvonne

 with a welcome picture:


It is a sculpture by Philip Haas - quite cool and recently exhibited in the Bronx Botanic Garden. This one is titeled "Winter" - I thought its appropriate for the season.... The artist basically turned an oil painting into a sculpture - I guess one can call it CASEing - below is the original painting by Arcimboldo


I hope you like your pictures and perhaps more important - you continue to enjoy what I do here ;) .....

Like this card I made for several challenges:



The tree die is by Memory Box - Twiggy Tree. I idi not die cut through the end of the stem and then made it longer with a craft knife. I sponged the tree. - Note that some af the branches go OVER THE EDGE.... The letters are by Papertrey - Block alphabet die. The little birds are from IO.


CASual Fridays - over the edge
Addicted to CAS- LOVE
Time Out challenge - Love and/or Friendship

Übrigens habe ich die Karte auch nicht verstanden, bis ich verschiedene Links von Michaela erhalten habe, in denen per Bild ganz genau erklärt wird, wie man diese Karten macht. Soll ich sie dir schicken?

Oh, look at that creative way you used that tree die! I am always looking for ways to stretch my dies and stamps but I would have never thought of that! Thanks so much! You are brilliant! Have a great and creative weekend!

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
