STAMPlorations CASEplorations March

Hi Everyone,

come and CASE with us here at STAMPlorations!

Our guest designer for this month is going to be the one and only Betsy Feldman. I am sure you all know her from Papertrey and from her blog Paper Scissors Superheroes

Here is my CASE of Betsy's card:


Looking at this side by side I should have taken a more orangey yellow....oh well, funny that your mind thinks you have it right, but reality proves it wrong :(


I just love her card - the beautiful color combination and the soft, airy feeling - that's why I choose butterflies for my card. I also wasn't sure if water coloring would work with that mask, so I decided to play it safe and sponged.



My supplies:

I just love her card - the beautiful color combination and the soft, airy feeling - that's why I choose butterflies for my card. I also wasn't sure if water coloring would work with that stencil, so I decided to play it safe and sponged.


Anita made another beauty and our amazing DT has quite some inspiration to offer! Go and check it out!

So you want to play along? Case Betsy's card (this is a change from the prior rules) and link it up HERE - you have the whole month to join in! And of course - there are prizes to win!

I think you've nailed the colours and great idea about the soft and airy feel of Betsy's card being represented with the butterflies, fabulous job. Thank you so much for the inspiration.

Zitronenfalter gibt es im Spätfrühling. Ich hätte gerne erst mal etwas Frühling und nie mehr trübes Wetter. Das geht mir dermaßen auf den Gest, das kann sich keiner vorstellen. Deine Karte bringt etwas Licht in diese (fast) Finsternis.
Liebe Grüße

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...
