So Suzy Chrysanthemums

Hi Everybody,

I am back with two cards I made with my pretty So Suzy stamps. I got inspired by the current challenge over at CAS Mix Up, where the theme is tissue paper and stamping. I had this pretty tissue paper lying around in my craft room. It has little specs of glitter in it- time to use it!



I made two cards, just changed the background paper and the sentiment. 
My stamp supplies:



Lets get started:
took my Kaleidocolor inkpad and inked up the Chrysanthemum.Stamped it a couple of times


Added the Chestnut leaf with black Versamark ink.


In order to tear the tissue paper where I wanted it torn I moistened the tear line with water and then it tears exactly there.



Wrapped the tissue paper around a piece of white card stock and secured it with Scotch tape. also dabbed tiny drops of liquid glue onto the tissue paper to secure the front.


Heat embossed the sentiment in white onto dark blue card stock for the white card and stamped it in black onto grey card stock for the grey card. Added some thread and pearls to the white card

Once again, you've taken my breath away by your innovative creativity. Loving the texture this method creates and the surprising dimension. It's just beautiful.
OK, I'll start breathing again now.

Two gorgeous cards Cornelia! Thanks for the tip about wetting the edge where you want the tissue to tear --- that is so helpful!! Love the colours and images that you have stamped. Interesting how different the look depending on the colour of your background. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up! xx

I love the stamping on tissue paper Cornelia! I didn't have much success with that but I'm inspired to try again! The colors of the stamping is fantastic and beautiful on both backgrounds! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!
Oh, I absolutely love this tissue paper technique and you created some amazing cards with it. Your colors are vibrant and I love the way you arranged the tissue paper differently on each card.
Just beautiful.
Thank you for sharing with us at SHOPPING OUR STASH, hope you play again next time.

These are just beautiful and bold. Really love the colors you chose, and good for you to use the tissue paper you've saved! I do the same thing and probably should follow your lead and use it! Thanks for hanging out at Shopping Our Stash this week!

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...

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

Mirror Image Stamping with So Suzy and the MISTI

Hi Everyone, I am so happy to be part of this wonderful event - the collaboration between So Suzy and the MISTI from My Sweet Petunia doing mirror image stamping.  This event is going on for the ENTIRE  MONTH! We are demonstrating the  Mirror Image Stamp    which coordinates with the Misti Stamping Tool! All month long, different bloggers will post a card using the  Mirror Image Stamp .  In my tutorial today, I will show you how use the  Mirror Image Stamp  on your cards. You can basically double your stamp supplies that way! The  mirror image stamp  is  a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of red rubber with no foam backing. So much larger than the other mirror image stamps out there and therefore much more useful!
