Happy Birthday Anita and a second card for several challenges

Surprise, surprise!!!!!

Happy belated Birthday Anita! Ah, you thought you can just sneak by here, but no, Bev and Darnell noticed you got a year older! Well lets hope you celebrated accordingly, but if not - here we all are, raising our glass!

Cheers, for another happy, healthy and crafty year!





Materials: Stamplorations Distressed Floral Swirls and Art Deco Border Builders, Hero Arts Essential Messages, Avery Elle To the Point.

Anybody can join in the celebration - the linky is open for 2 weeks. Come on and celebrate amazing Anita's birthday!


--X--

I did not want to have two blog posts, so I am just going to post my challenge card here:

I had soooo much fun playing around with one of my TCW stencils - I made a few cards, which I will show you one by one over the next weeks.....


For this one I took the colors of Dynamic Duos - black and mustard. 


The sentiment is by Papertrey - Mum's the Word and the splatters I made with glimmer glaze.

The challenge at KIS is stripes/Streifen and at Less is More its stencils or masking


And lastly I'm adding this card to the Moxie Fab STENCIL challenge, that has just started!

Both cards have great colour combinations and wonderful balance and yet the feeling of each is completely different - pretty and elegant for the first, and modern and super cool for the second!

Wow, both of your cards are amazing! I love, love the first one for Anita. Those swirls that you stamped are awesome and I love the pattern they made. I also love the little gem accent you placed on some of them and the color combo. This card is just gorgeous. I also love the second card. That color combo is so cool looking too. Two very amazing cards! Hugs

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...
