Skipping Stones Designs - Best of Butterflies

Hi Everyone,

today I have the pleasure of showcasing this wonderful  new Skipping Stones Designs set called Best of Butterflies.


Aren't they all just gorgeous?




I settled for the sideways butterfly and stamped him once the right way and then turned him around. makes him a little asymmetric, but lets call it art....right? 
I water colored him and added Wink of Stella and lots of white gel pen dots. Did some splattering. The sentiment is from the same set. Added white dots to the little banner I added for balance. 

In case you can't read the sentiment it says:

Life is not measured by the number of breath we take, but by the moments that take our breath away


Happy Stamping!

Perfectly balanced with the splats and dots. What a fun way to use the butterfly stamp, always so very creative. Beautifully coloured in and the black against it is so striking x

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
