Mondrian Valentine

I thought I give the usual Valentine's card a little modern twist - this is for art lovers.......

For the longest time I wanted to make a Mondrian card and the Keep it simple challenge finally made me do it. The theme is square. I used that cute little TAWS set called PIECES to help me out with the card:


The rest of the lines I drew in. The colored squares I stamped on card stock and cut them out. 


Lastly I cut my square "Mondrian" and mounted it on black paper to give it a nice defined edge. How would you like to have your own "Mondrian"? Just make one yourself......

I am also linking this card with the Time Out challenge - Love and/or Friendship - its a new challenge blog and is right now looking for a DT. They have some cool twists on their challenges - go over and check it out 

Addicted to CAS - LOVE - as expressed in the sentiment

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
