Happy Birthday Sandie!

Hi Everyone,

I made a birthday card for Sandie Munro from London Days - she is celebrating half a century of being on this planet - now that is one good reason to make a card!

Happy Birthday Sandie! 
To the next 50 years, woot, woot!


Since Sandie is best friends with Kylie (who has a linky party going on her blog) I pulled out my HLS sets for this card - I just love that little ellie! Had some trouble with the color purple - not really present in my stash...did the best I could....added splatters and some Washi tape.



I wish I could send that to you - you just have to enjoy it virtually;) - your card will hit the mailbox tomorrow...

Linking up with:

Time Out extra - CAS with the optional twist of purple
The Paper Players - wild animal
Get Creative challenge - purple and one other color (yellow in the washi tape)

Your little balloon toting purple ellie is such a delight, Cornelia ... so sweet ... love all the splatters (of course elephants make lots of splatter with their trunks!). Gorgeous cake ... save me a slice please ... it'd go beautifully with my purple champagne!! Delighted to have you playing along with us for Sandie's special birthday surprise at Time Out! Hugs, Anita :)

Freaking brilliant. Using that adorable ellie for the zero in, dare I say it, 50, is a stroke of true genius. Of course, I always knew that about you.

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
