Monday Challenges

Hi Everyone,

no, I am not confused, I know its Wednesday, but I am playing in two challenges that have Monday in their name - Make it Monday from Papertrey and The Cure for the Monday Blues from Taheera. 

I am sure Taheera picked that inspiration picture just for me ;) - bright colors, that's just my thing! And then Betsy Veldman over at make it Monday came up with this darling idea of making confetti garlands and I had to combine the challenges.....


All the flowers are from the Papertrey set Beautiful Blooms II. I heat embossed them. The sentiment is also Papertrey - Think Big Favorites. Added a mix of homemade and bought sequins and stringed them up.



I LOVE this card! So cheerful!

I am also linking it with Flashback Friday - Got flowers
The Snippets Playground - use a snippet (sequins)

        Pixies Crafty Workshop

I have another blog post coming up today - day 3 of the STAMPlorations stamp release, so stay tuned!

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
