CASEploration at STAMPloration #7

Hi Everyone,

 this is my third post for today - for the House of Card challenge post click HERE  and for the A2z Scrapbooking challenge click HERE or scroll down.

come and CASE with us here at STAMPlorations!

Our guest designer for this month is going to be Karen Dunbrook from Snippets. Karen is amazingly creative and she just creates absolutely gorgeous cards. Here is my take on hers:


 My materials:

preview-SRDFondExpressions2  preview-web-stencil-051-retrocircles   preview-web-stencil-019-flutterby copy.jpeg





Made the background with lightly gessoing the stencil and then sponging distress inks over the dried gesso. Added the sentiment and lastly used embossing paste for the butterflies. Added slight pencil accents to the butterflies to make them stand out a bit more. 



Here is Karen's gorgeous card:




And here is another view of mine:




We invite you to CASE with us and link it up to the CASEplorations gallery, which will be open for a whole month. Everyone is welcome to play using whatever supplies you have on hand. And oh yes, we will randomly draw one winner to win a prize, as well as highlight the best CASEs.

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
