of course, this is the ONE stencil I DON'T own--next on my list to buy---love those paintbrush stripes. I think I'm going to be casing your card which of course is casing Vijaylaxmi Siyal (Shalu)

I meant stamp set. I have most of the others in this artsy collection. Thanks for clarifying.

What a lovely time I've spent catching up with all your creativity over the last few weeks or so, Cornelia ... such a fabulous array of inspiration! Sorry it's not possible for me to comment on each one (you'd be waiting forever!)... I did love the big splats for your daughter's card (congratulations to her getting to grad school in Munich) ... that kaleidoscope of butterflies was stunning ... and this beauty is just so bold and dramatic ... gorgeous! Hoping (!) to stay up to date now!! Hugs, Anita :)

My dear Cornelia! I have NOT been ignoring your gallery; indeed, I have left comments on pretty much all your amazing cards, but a stroll back shows they haven't been sticking! Between blogger's shenanigans and our internet malfunctions, I'm about ready to pull out my hair! The plus side of checking on my comment status is seeing your fabulous creativity for a second go-round! So much inspiration and ingenuity that you've wiped away my weather-induced feeling of gloom (yet again a thunderstorm warning day!) and replaced it with mega-watt smiling. Your interpretation of Shalu's card: striking and gorgeous! I have that rose and still, it awaits a play date. You've given me incentive to bring it out...
Hugs~c (hopefully this internet/blogger fiasco will right itself soon!)

An unusual card! I love these very beautiful roses - you had it painted. I love your belt, it's a very creative treatment card inspiration. Another great card and great inspiration for us.
Hugs,
BożenA

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...
