Watercolor Stamping with Twofers

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to play with my Local King Rubber Stamps and needed a challenge to spark my imagination....
Twofers came to the rescue - the theme is watercolor stamping.


I used watercolor markers and colored my stamp, stamped it onto glossy card stock and then die cut it. One ostrich was not enough, so I stamped him some grey companions. Added splatters just for fun and some Washi tape. The sentiment also comes with the stamp set.


Here you see better that the die cut ostrich is mounted with foam tape. I am thinking birthday card for an Australian here - I think it works even without a specific birthday sentiment, or?

Linking up with:
Seize the Birthday - coloring
ATSM - Make your Mark


Happy Stamping!

Your ostriches card makes me smile...reminds me of Sesame Street's "One of these things is not like the other' song! Such fun! Sentiment? Totally fine without!

That ostrich is not only colored beautifully, he makes me laugh because of the nutty expression. Of course, it will work for any birthday, no matter the nationality.

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...
