Christmas Gnome


Hi Everyone,

today I have a bit of a different Christmas card for you. I just love that grumpy gnome from  Stampotique and thought he'll do fine on a Christmas card....The tree is Stampotique  as well.



The sentiment is by STAMPlorations. I drew the frames around them and cut them out. The background is sponged with various distress inks. Added the sequins.


Stampotique - SDC 224 - sequins
AAA challenge - Galaxy stars of Silent Night
Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers - X is for Christmas
Just us Girls - use sequins
Snippets Playground - use a snippet (gnome and sentiments)

   

__________

And here is another card I made for the Spotlight feature over at STAMPlorations - 


you'll find the tutorial there as well!

Happy Stamping!

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
