Hidden Message

Hi,

some challenges just appeal to me and I have to play.....this was the case with the challenge going on at Shopping our Stash, which I stumbled upon somehow.....the theme is Hide and Seek - put a hidden element on your card. Ans since I am still in full blown Valentine's mood - that gallery I am selling my cards at here locally has asked for some.....I made one for Valentine's Day:


I punched out the tiny envelope (an ancient Marvy punch) and the hearts. The latter are from paint chips - give you perfect color coordination, although in the photo the smallest heart does not look darker, but it is...
The swirl is by Papertrey - Happy Trails, the you is by Avery Elle.
The hearts are dangling on a sliver thread and you can pull them out to reveal....


Not really a surprise......

This is for Tami - I can't find your blog address...The envelope punch is from Marvy. Its and ancient punch and I don't know if you still can buy it. If not, I would try ebay.

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
