So Suzy - Swirly Heart

 Hi Everyone,

I am back today with another card I made with those wonderful sentiment stamps So Suzy carries. this one is by Audrey Hepburn and goes along perfectly with the Swirly Heart stamp:


I masked a diagonal strip on my card base and sponged with distress inks. 

Used my Misti and stamped the swirly heart in white pigment ink



And then moved the card just a smidgen and over stamped with black ink



So you get a thin white outline and a deep black shadow.


Stamped the sentiment:



Hope you liked this!

This is beautiful!! I LOVE that diagonal distress ink feature. Makes the black POP right off the card. Really lovely design.

Hmmm, ich sehe schon, ich muss mir wirklich bald einen MISTI kaufen... Coole Technik und Layout! Schöne Farben!

Absolutely gorgeous.

Oh that is lovely. That's what the MISTI is good for - positioning where you want it. I love the brightness of the background with the starkness of the black. Xx

Wow! Audrey was one of may favorite actresses and I love this quote. Beautiful swirls over that vibrant strip of color. Love this ghosting technique...it adds such depth to a simple 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

Some more Christmas Cards...

Hi Everyone, there still are some Christmas cards  I made awhile ago and have not yet posted.... This one I made for the  Runway Inspired Challenge . The inspiration photo is below. I found it a little tricky to make this into a Christmas card, but with the help  of Neat&Tangled stamps it worked....The stitched dies are by Simon Says. Added some Washi tape on top (the headdress) and silver glitter paper at the bottom (the floor and silver shoes) and voila a Christmas card! My second card I made with an iStencil, gold embossing paste, faux pearls, an enamel dot and lots of splatters. The stitched die I cut the Kraft panel with is by Simon Says. I love this stencil and stenciled cards are just so quick and easy to make. I used this one for several cards this year, on of which you can see HERE . http://www.istencils.com/store/products/22-00029 I am linking up this card with: Stamps and fun=Creativity - Christmas U...
