Subway Art Christmas Card and Happy Thanksgiving!

At 613 Ave Create the theme is Subway Art - and what better stamp to use than STAMPlorations for that?  I made Christmas card, using the Vignette: Christmas Block, altough STAMPlorations has quite a few subway art stamps, including a beautiful set in the latest release.


I first stamped the sentiment onto a silver metallic paper and heat embossed it. I then dropped alcohol inks on it. I popped up this panel onto another silver metallic paper, using thin foam tape. The background I used the same stamp and stamped it repetitively onto white card stock, although it looks grey in the picture - not sure why....


Here are some more photos with different angles - its kind of tricky to photograph, because of the reflection. 


I am also linking my card with Stempelkueche - Untypische Weihnachtskarte = atypical Christmas Card
and with Uniko Studio - Anything goes and a sketch
Less is More - anything Christmassy, although this is not really a CAS card....
 Simon Says challenge - Anything Goes
Time Out challenge - embossing with the optional twist of sparkle (heat embossed my sentiment)

   

And let me not forget this - HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all of you. I am grateful that you choose to support my blog with all your wonderful comments - they keep me going and brighten my day!
THANK YOU!

By the way - there is a Black Friday sale going on at STAMPlorations:

Total außergewöhnlich und total Klasse, Cornelia! Gewagte Farbkombi, die aber fantastisch funktioniert. Wer sagt denn, dass Weihnachtskarten immer traditionell sein müssen :)

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...
