Dynamic Duos and LIM

I got my mail today and boy there were a lot of surprises in there - about some I'll tell you later, since I don't have a lot of time right now, but I also got some more stamping supplies - yeahhh - as if I would need more ......
I had to try some of them right away - using my new STAMPlorations set 

SUBWAY ART BUILDERS: Create (this is a sneak preview of part of the set - the set will be released in May) and the VIGNETTE: Artful Flutters



The circle lines I created with a brand new stencil from Memory Box - Radio Waves - I sponged that - it was a bit tricky, because the stencil is so delicate....


The butterflies I made with a scrap piece of acetate - a leftover form some packaging, which I colored with alcohol inks and stamped the butterflies with Staz On ink. All the ink is on the backside of the butterflies to protect the colors. I added some Stickles to the bodies of the butterflies - love the sparkle... the curvy line is from Papertrey Happy Trails


Challenges:


Annis Herausforderung - use a stencil - there is a give away at Annis' challenge - go and play!

Papierelle - use a "2" - there is a blog candy to win - just found out about it.....Go over and check it out!

Snippets Playground - use a snippet -  butterflies

Do you know that Dynamic Duos is closing? I am so sad to see them go - I loved their color combinations. It was a great challenge.

Sorry that I haven't been commenting but my computer time in NYC was very limited! We had a great time the only down side was that I couldn't meet you... Glad to hear that you had fun in Colorado!

Wowsers, Cornelia, Love that stencil. Your colors made it pop. I hear you on the delicacy of some of the MB stencils (although I don't have this one yet). A couple I do have, must be handled gently or tiny joins could tear. I'm especially taken with these beautiful acetate butterflies. Great colors to light up that neon radio wave pattern. TFS & Hugs.

This is just stunning! And so perfect for the final challenge at Dynamic Duo's. So classy and sweet.
Rosmarie said…
Wow!! Eine perfekte und wunderschöne Umsetzung des LIM Sketchs. Gefällt mir total gut! In den letzten Wochen hatte ich leider keine Zeit zum mitmachen ... :(
Liebe Grüße Rosi
This is so striking! I love the blue & green together. So pretty!

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
