STAMPlorations Inspiration March 9

Hi Everyone, its INSPIRATION day at STAMPlorations! 

The DT girls made some beautiful cards to entice you playing with your stamps - STAMPlorations or otherwise..... 


I am playing with the set Trendy Butterflies. I inked them up with Gesso - trying the Gesso resist technique. Not sure if I am happy with it. I like my images crisp, not smudgy.... sloshed some water color around the butterflies - the resist worked only partially.....Stamped the sentiments onto watercolor paper - to have the same colored paper and colored the large word with the same colors as the watercolor background. You can see it if you look carefully....

So, if you are up for it - CASE my card or any other card and link it up over at STAMPlorations. The InLinkz gallery  will be open until the 5th of April - givse you plenty of time! One winner will be randomly drawn from all entries to win a $15 gift certificate or their choice of any 2 ARTplorations stencils.

Happy CASEing!

I do like the look of this technique, Cornelia. It looks really soft and makes for a great background combined with your lovely bright colours. It's good to try something new. Have a lovely day! xxx

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

Combined So Suzy and The Ton Blog Hop

Hi Everyone, I am sooooo excited to be part of this amazing event - a combined hop between So Suzy Stamps and The Ton! I have been eyeing The Ton stamps and dies for quite a while - they are just gorgeous! And So Suzy - well you have seen their stamps on my blog - they are simply fabulous! I also love that they are made from rubber - its different stamping with them. Its much better for generational stamping and they don't stick to your paper when you use your Misti. You may have arrived from the fabulous  Eunji - its a hard act to follow her.... I got those gorgeous  Peonies Dies  from The Ton and die cut them with water color paper. Spritzed Dylusion inks on a sheet of plastic and dipped the dies into the colors. Mounted them onto black card stock. Added the So Suzy Birthday sentiment - heat embossed in white. Lastly I added a strip of envelope liner paper at the bottom. Here are my supplies: So Suzy Birthday sentiment ,  Peo...
