It's Raining!

Hi Everyone,

again, I lucked out combining challenges...
As soon as I saw the inspiration picture over at Inkspirational I knew I needed to play with them. and then things just fell into place.
Less is More wants lots of white space, but no white
Just us Girls wants raindrops
and Sparkle and Shine offers an umbrella, although theirs has colorful polka dots, oh well, mine does not.


Here is that cool photo:


I took that cool umbrella stamp from Joy Clair, did some masking and sponging on grey card stock. The raindrops are by Impression obsession and the sentiment is by Papertrey.


So, what  do you think - is that a perfect coincidence???


It's not raining now, but its coming - so - keep stamping!

Don't you just love it when that happens? The most perfect card for the challenges. The bold yellow and black photo inspiration is so striking and no wonder you wanted to join in. Absolutely fabulous take and would never have thought to start on the grey card, so thank you for the inspiration x Great sentiment too.

Well, this is just plain genius!!! You explained how you did it, but I still can't figure out how you did the raindrops and colored the umbrella and boots. I love this so much, great take on the challenge. Thanks so much for playing along with us this week at Just Us Girls!!

Co-incidence or not, its one amazing card, Cornelia! The yellow stands out so well on the grey and the grey depicting a storm and the sentiment suits perfectly,- that's just one beautiful card!

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...
