Make It Monday #151 and Curtain call

Betsy Feldman shows us a cool technique on this weeks Make It Monday. She calls it "Drop Shadow Die Cuts". Its simple, yet effective. I had to try it.....



Looks cool right? All die cuts and stamps are Papertrey, except the "happy" - that's from Paper Smooches. 

I am also playing in the Curtain call challenge this week. The delicious inspiration photo is below.




Guess what the centers of my flowers are.........


......you got it! 
Mini Marshmallows


I am also linking this card with:
Creative Friday -  Kraft
Snippets Playground  - everything die cut is made with snippets

And just to show you the snow we had 2 days ago - now imagine that with an additional layer of perhaps 6 inches of heavy, wet snow followed by icy rain.......


Stay warm!

Love your card. Marshmallows?? :)

The snow and ice just keep on coming, don't they?? Winter is not letting up here in Ohio, either. More snow on the way this weekend. Stay warm and safe!

Das sieht aber richtig gut aus bei euch. Hier ist alles braun und grau. so überhaupt nicht winterlich. Schade. Hoffentlich kommt das nicht erst im März oder gar April!!!! Da möchte ich dann doch schon Frühling haben. Zum Glück kann das niemand beeinflussen.

That drop shadow technique looks cool! Have to try that! And marshmallows??? Too funny!
We got about 10in of glittery, powdery snow! Fortunately no icy rain so far!
Stay safe!

Liebe Cornelia,
deine Karte ist genial! Wunderschön wie du die Farben genutzt hast!
Auch wenn sich deine Beschreibung des Wetters eklig anhört, ist das Foto wunderschön!

Your photo looks really pretty, but also really cold. I love your card and think you captured the essence of the inspiration photo very well!

Very cute card! I think we have a break from the snow for a few days.....until mid-week! My poor bush branches too are so heavy from the snow and ice.

Wow...what a photo, that belongs on a Christmas card if you want my opinion. Just stunning! Now on to your card, it is so sweet...I love your take on the challenge, just lovely!

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...
