New Members Welcome and Moxie Fab challenge

Its greet my new members time!

Two lovely ladies have joined my blog - I want to welcome in the order of joining:

Sonja K from The Art of Stamping

Vicki from Stamp Smiles

You probably know them already, since both have an active blog and make fabulous cards! I am happy you joined me and as customary I picked a welcome picture for you. this is made by Tom Otterness, who makes fun bronze statues, some of which can be found in New York City. This is a detail from one of his works (called Amorphophallus Titanum) in the Bronx Botanic Garden. I just love those little creatures in that gigantic plant!

I hope you like it, too!

Over at Moxie Fab the WCMD challenge got extended - I am so happy about this, since I wanted to play - that inspiration picture is so up my alley.....geometric design - what could be better???

This is the picture:

I made my card using the Papertrey Harlequin embossing plate, which I partially ran through my Big Shot. Then I took pain chips in various colors and also ran them through the big shot. cutting those little diamonds, which I then pieced in. The wood background paper I got at this years Scrapbook Expo in NJ.

The sentiment is by My Favorite Things. I think it fits the style of the card quite well.

This is my last blog post that I'll write.... for the next two weeks I'll be in Israel. So forgive me, if I won't be able to comment - I'll try to catch up with you once I'll be back home.

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

Some more Christmas Cards...

Hi Everyone, there still are some Christmas cards I made awhile ago and have not yet posted.... This one I made for the Runway Inspired Challenge . The inspiration photo is below. I found it a little tricky to make this into a Christmas card, but with the help of Neat&Tangled stamps it worked....The stitched dies are by Simon Says. Added some Washi tape on top (the headdress) and silver glitter paper at the bottom (the floor and silver shoes) and voila a Christmas card! My second card I made with an iStencil, gold embossing paste, faux pearls, an enamel dot and lots of splatters. The stitched die I cut the Kraft panel with is by Simon Says. I love this stencil and stenciled cards are just so quick and easy to make. I used this one for several cards this year, on of which you can see HERE . http://www.istencils.com/store/products/22-00029 I am linking up this card with: Stamps and fun=Creativity - Christmas U...
