A Warm Welcome to 4 new Members and 2 Challenges


 It has been a while since my last new member greeting and I have now 4 new members who joined my blog - I made it past 150! That is fantastic - thank you all for joining and thanks to my long term members for  staying with me!

Stephanie (sorry did not find a link)
Petra aka Hellerlittle

And if you have time, you may visit them and say hello - they have wonderfully creative blogs, full of inspiration!

And here is your welcome picture:


As my other recent welcome pictures this is also from the Corning Glass Museum. The artist is Vera Liskova, a Czech glass artist and the piece is titled "Anthem of Joy in Glass". I hope it brings you joy looking at it. I sure like it!

But now back to cards... I found two fun challenges to combine. Taheera always finds those wonderful inspiration pictures and the AEI♥U Challenge - make your won designer paper is just up my alley!




I used the Avery Elle set -To the Point and stamped my background. It comes with those little filler stamps, whick I inked up in yellow, neon pink and aqua and randomly filled in some of those spaces. The banners are from the same set, as are the sentiment, which I embossed in silver (a nod to the fork in Taheera's picture....)


Added some Paper Candi and aqua strips on the sides. 



Challenge 9

And after suggestion of several of my commenters I am also adding this car to this weeks CASE this sketch challenge and Fusion challenge - as you can see its just the sketch here...


 

Have a great day and thanks for visiting!

I am in love with this, Cornelia!! With everything about it!! I think there is a sketch challenge somewhere that has flags in the upper left-hand corner. I'll try and remember where I saw it. This is really a winner in my book! Enjoy the weekend! Hugs, Darnell

Think it was Fusion + CASe the sketch, Darnell. Love how you echoed the pointed napkin in your DP, brill colours too. :)
Barb Ghig said…
OMGoah, Cornelia...You did an amazing job on creating your own patterned paper...actually, it's more like 'High end Designer Paper'! I love how you added the pop of color with your neon inks, too!

By the way, it looks like your card also qualifies for this week's challenge at CTS, if you're interested: http://casethissketch.blogspot.com/2014/06/case-this-sketch-81.html

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...
