and then I check my blog list and what do I see - the reminder post for:



Color Throwdown has the same colors - it is a beautiful color combo, isn't it?? First I thought that is some fantastic caterpillar - but then Sherrie pointed out that they are a bunch of birds - LOL - my eyesight must be going....

This is a great set of thank you cards! Love the paper choice and design layout. I always want my kids to make their own thank you cards too, but I remind myself that for now it's enough that they write them and get them mailed:)

Love your design with the arrows and what you did with that color combo! Great for a young boy's thank you cards.
Caterpillar? I think the inspiration photo is a bunch of birds. I don't card for birds so couldn't look at it too closely! Lol.

What a fabulous card! Colours are great and your design is fantastic! I have to admit that you said the picture was a caterpillar and I totally saw that. Then you said it was actually birds and I was like, oh yeah it is! LOL. :-)

Ja, wenn man schnell hinschaut, sieht man eine Raupe. Erst wenn man das Foto genauer betrachtet, merkt man, dass es Vögel sind!
Die Karten sind cool!

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
