Make it Monday and another iStencil Card

Hi Everyone,

I want to share a card with you I made for this week's Make it Monday. The theme is "A la carte", you can choose any of the 40 previous posts. Even if you don't want to play along you should just go and check it out for all the wonderful inspiration you fill find there. I settled for 
Make It Monday #218: Watercolors with Die-Cut Stencils by the talented
Lexi Daly.


You can watch the video - always good to get some tricks and tips. All my supplies are by Papertrey - the scribbles, the die and the sentiment. I added some sequins, matching the water color.


I just love this - so simple and pretty!

------------

You may remember the card I made for this weeks Less is More challenge. I kept looking at it, with its drab colors and decided to change that. So I just die cut the thanks in orange and added the orange side strip and now I like it much better!


again, the stencil is an iStencil, the thanks is by SSS

6x6 PTP-108 wavy stripes
Which version do you like better?

 I am linking up with:
Rubber Dance - Black, white and one color

Keep Stamping and Stenciling ;)

I have to admit I like your step up by adding orange strip and sentiment. Looks perfect. Love that watercolour and die cutting card as well. Off to check it out.

Love the MIM card you made! Simple but oh so creative and eye-catching!
I like the newer version of the card better with the punch of orange against the black and white. The orange seems to be a better fit for such a bold, graphic design! Way cool!

I love both of these cards! The rainbow across the sentiment is beautiful and the pop of orange... love it! I can't wait to see your card using the die cut and foam. Hugs!

That Make It Monday card really looks fabulous. Love the colors you chose. On the second card...as you know, I loved the first one. Couldn't stop looking at it but that hot orange color absolutely makes this sing in the higher registers.

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...
