Shopping Our Stash Challenge 276

Hi Everyone,

I was lucky to have been chosen as Guest Designer over at Shopping Our Stash - in case you don't know its a weekly challenge, where you are supposed to use something in your stash - preferably something neglected ;)

This weeks challenge is Home Sweet Home (use a house or a any building)


Of course I used this to make a Christmas card - pulling out a set by Winnie & Walter that has not seen any love in a looooong time. I water colored the background and I teamed it up with a CUTplorations die and a word stamp by STAMPlorations. The little die cut star is by Lil Inkers.


Grab Our Badge!


The challenge runs until Midnight November 7th - come and play along!

Happy Stamping!

Winnie & Walter - join in to win

This is Beautiful!!! the image, the watercolouring, the scene and the sentiment. Congrats on the GDT for us at SOS.
Hello Cornelia and thank you for being our guest designer this month over at SHOPPING OUR STASH.
Your water colored background on this card just took my breath away, I'm always amazed at the crafters who can achieve this gorgeous blending of water colors, I've tried but I always end up with a muddy mess.
I love the beautiful glow behind this little church and the way the stars shine so bright on this amazing night sky.
Hugs,
Maria Rodriguez.

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...
