House of Cards September Color Challenge

                       Hello, and welcome to another monthly challenge at House of Cards!  

 You guys did such a wonderful job last month and we hope to see you back again!  This month we have a color challenge for you - just perfect for fall!





And here is my take on it;


I had to pull out my ancient Stamp in the Hand apple stamps for this one. Unfortunately this company does not exist anymore, as far as I know......You don't even need to use their stamps they are so pretty just to look at, LOL...The sentiment is from the new release set from STAMPlorations, called Bloom Sketches

Thank you for coming by!  Check out all the gorgeous inspiration from our DT over at the BLOG. We hope you're inspired to join us with your creations this month!

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
