Shades of Grey and Spotlight on Bold florals

I discovered a new challenge blog - I think its called My SCRAP-RU - its a Russian blog (don't understand a work of Russian...) and the DT is amazing! Their challenge is 50 Shades of Grey. I did not read the book - I only read the reviews on amazon and that was enough for me, but the challenge certainly appeals to me, so I HAD to play!



I used one of my new Patti Parrish stencils by iStencil - its called Pac Man infinity - alone the name makes you wanna buy it, LOL!

8X10 PTP-020 PacMan Infinity stencil image

and since I was in a silly mood I gave it two googly eyes. The sentiment is by Papertrey.


And then I thought I can just use one of those Pac Man columns and added those tiny hearts.






And as luck will have it - 
Less is More is also having a fitting challenge I am going to link up with - its predominantly Black!
also linking with
Operation Write Home - masculine cards

And as usual for a Tuesday - I have something else for you - my STAMPlorations Spotlight post:



I am linking this card with 
Simon Says Wednesday challenge - Birthday cards

 You can read about the whole process at STAMPlorations and see my tutorial.

Your Pac-Man stencils card are simply too much fun; the googly eyes are hilarious! Brilliant way to use shades of grey (I agree about the book; the reviews were enough!). Your STAMPlorations beauty...happy sigh! Heading off to your tutorial right now!

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...
