TAWS Be Inspired #47

For a while I have a new member on my blog that has somehow escaped my customary greeting - so sorry .... I want to welcome


and I am very happy to have you here. Hanna has a wonderful blog - she is very creative and I can highly recommend you check out her blog! 
Here is my welcome picture for you:


It is a vase by Miyashita Zenji. I saw this last year in Cornell University, Ithaca. They have beautiful museum - definitely worthwhile to visit. I hope you like this as much as I do.

Time for another Be Inspired challenge at TAWS - an inspiration picture just up my alley!



I used my brand new set called Pillow Talk from TAWS to make this card. I won this set with THIS card. I had it on my wishlist for a while - its just so cool! Thanks Allison!!!!!



The yellow pattern I heat embossed to make it stick out a bit more. The bird is from the Bird Brain set  - colored with Copics and the sentiment is from Jibber Jabber.

I am also linking this card with Addicted to Stamps and more - make your mark
Snippets Playground - us a snippet (bird and 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
