Joy Clair - Away in a Manger

Hi Everyone,

I am on the Joy Clair blog today with a card I made with one of the new release sets called "Away in a Manger":


This is the set:


I partially die cut the stitched circle. I stamped the image on patterned paper and then stamped it again on white card stock and colored it in and fuzzy cut it. I glued the colored image onto the patterned paper and glued it behind the die cut circle. Added the sentiment and the star as well as some sequins.


Hope you liked this!

Go and visit the Joy Clair blog to see all the new sets! 
Don't forget to play with us in the Joy Clair October challenge  - the theme is Fall and we have a beautiful inspiration picture to give you some colors to play with! The challenge closes October 30, so there is still plenty of time!

My card also fits in with Kimberley's card (see below) at MUSE Christmas Vision - its a bit more serious, not as playful, but the circle and the colors work - perhaps you can play along with us, too - would be great!

So far, this is the most perfect Christmas card I've seen and the reason for the season. Love the coloring, the way you designed it, placing the manger behind your partial diecutting, and the star offset above it. Yep...perfect.

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
