Thank You with Leaves

Hi Everyone,

I am taking a break from making DT cards and I am just playing with some of my neglected supplies.


I made this card with stamps and dies by Papertrey - the dies are NBUS. They have been collecting dust for at least a year - what a shame! The whole card is made from snippets - an old (dusty) water colored background, that I did not like, but thought it might be useful one day, the leave outlines - leftover strips of watercolor paper and the butterflies - again left overs from a prior card.


Of course I am playing in some challenges:

Color Throwdown 
Inspired By All The Little Things
Snippets Playground - use a snippet


 

Happy Stamping!

Yay a for using your NBUS! I have the exact same thanks stamp from ME and as soon as I saw this I knew I had to visit because it's given me some ideas on what to do with it. I love the dies and that you've used lots of odds and ends that have been lying around. Perfect for the snippets playground :) xx

Oh, die ist aber schön geworden! Gut, dass du den Hintergrund abgestaubt hast, denn er sieht sehr gut so aus! Und die Schriftzüge machen sich sehr gut hinter den Blättern!

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
