TAWS BIC #52

Hi Everybody,

I am on vacation again, so I won't have too much time visiting your blogs, but I'll catch up when I'll be back home.....
I love the TAWS inspiration photo, but found it quite difficult to come up with something - to capture the movement and the delicate colors....

I don't feel I was very successful with my attempt - its definitely too green, but I do like the card that came out of this:


I used the Holiday Sparkles set for the background - I heat embossed it onto watercolor paper. I then added watercolor. The black strip on the side is from Awesome Blossom and the sentiment is from the set All about You.


I added generous amount of Stickles to the snowflakes (shows a little bit in the picture), some liquid pearls to the black dotted strip and lastly added the bird (Bird Brain), which I fussy cut. 



Thanks for visiting my blog today!

Your colour scheme is great; the green, white and black are very eyecatching.

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
