Guest Designing at Inkspirational and a reminder about STAMPlorations' blog hop!

 I could not believe it when Marina from Inkspirational asked me if I wanted to be guest designer! I am still totally over the moon about it !!!! And of course I said yes.

The theme for the next two weeks if FLIGHT

Now there are many possibilities for that, but I choose to go with air travel. 


I used an old stamp set from Recollections and combined it with my all time favorite Avery Elle set - To the Point. And then I was not sure if I liked the card enough, so I made a second card with rainbow colors....


I bent the triangle and mounted the plane on foam tape after I cut it out.


So I hope you are as excited as I am to play with us for the next two weeks. Come on over to see all those beautiful card from the design team and get inspired! Thank you all at Inkspirational to give me this opportunity!
And I'll see you at 

I am also linking BOTH cards with the current Avery Elle challenge - CAS

Challenge 15

And just a reminder - the STAMPlorations blog hop is still going on - lots of fabulous stamps to win, but you have to leave a comment on the blog hop posts!

Here is another card I made for the hop, using the Poinsettia stamp from the set Holiday Sketches - Christmas Flower. The sentiment is from the Sentiment Builders: Christmas & New Year. the background I made with my new toy - Brusho paints.

I love how you have used the same stamps in a different way. I love how you have shaped the stamp in the second, this must have been a bit tricky but it really does give the feeling of flight. So pleased to have you as Guest Designer..you know I love your cards x

I was amazed when I first saw these cards - I think the effect of the colourful trails on both cards is just stunning. Both cards are bold, eyecatching and uncluttered - and such a perfect interpretation of our theme, 'flight'. Thank you so much for being a fantastic guest designer at Inkspirational.

Congratulations on your GD spot, Cornelia ... rainbow plane trails ... how fabulous ... I just love the curved ones! I have that set (also a fave!) and never thought to curve the triangle ... inspired and inspiring, thanks! Anita :)

Cornelia, your GD cards are absolutely perfect for the challenge and for bringing a big smile to my face! You sound like me: make a card, ponder it a bit, then make a second, just to be sure! Love how you've used the same images, in two quite innovative ways. Fabulous guest designing! Your poinsettia card: stunning! I'm aiming to ink mine up this weekend!

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
