Ratty Birthday

Hi Everyone,

those rats, what shall I tell you - they have found a real home with me. One even sneaked onto a birthday card I needed......


This one already got to star on one of my cards, but it just pushed its pals aside and well, what can I say - it deserves the spotlight! I made this for my husbands best friend - 57 is a special birthday for him. 
My supplies:
Birthday sentiment: Stamplorations
other sentiment:  Dylusions
57: Avery Elle (alcohol ink - leftover from a previous card))



Enjoy the poem!


Happy Stamping!

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
