House of Cards - Photo Inspiration any Style Challenge


Hi, friends!  It's time for another new FIFTH WEEK challenge here at House of Cards!  We've got a fabulous one for you this fortnight and we cannot wait to see what you've got in store for us!  Since our entire DT will be creating for this one, there is TONS of inspiration for you to choose from! Go over to the House of Cards blog and see what our fabulous DT has created!









You see I got inspired by the striped pillows and the vertical lines in this photo. I used a TCW stencil. The sentiment is by Papertrey - Mum's the Word. And those enamel dots - again!


This WEEK, we're asking for 
ANY AND ALL STYLES OF CREATIONS
PLUS USE THIS PHOTO INSPIRATION~

I hope to see you there!
THIS IS A ONE WEEK CHALLENGE...please make sure to get your entries in before next Sunday at noon CST! :)


I'm also  adding this card to the Moxie Fab STENCIL challenge 
and to Virginia's View challenge - its stencils for the next two weeks.
Looking at this weeks Muse challenge - hmmm - I think this cards fits, even that I did not make it for that challenge....happy coincidence, what d' a think? Or too much use of the same stencil? Too repetitive? Well, that was actually the first card I made with that stencil -just had to keep it hidden for the HOC challenge...

 Here is amazing Jacquie Southas Muse card - I like those little twirly thingies...

Another very cool and awesome card with this stencil! I have never looked closely at that stencil but if you keep coming up with gorgeous cards made with it I will have to put it on my wish list! Is it the 6x6 or the 12x12?

Deine Idee finde ich super. Diese Blau-grünen Streifen und der tolle Schriftstempel ergänzen sich prima und die drei kleinen Enamel dots passen auch hier wunderbar dazu.

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...
