Merry and Bright with So Suzy Stamps

Hi Everyone,

Christmas is coming and So Suzy has so many fabulous Christmas stamps. I pulled out some of my stash and that's what came of it.


My stamp supplies:


 Pine Branch, Small Bow, Happy Light Merry sentiment, Ornament

I first inked up the pine cone with Versamark and stamped it. Move the paper a smidgen and stamped it again in green. Heat embossed it in clear with WOW embossing powder.


I masked a square and sponged with distress inks. The heat embossed pine branch resists the inke and you get a white contour around it.


Sprinkled water on it and dabbed it off with a paper towel to get some texture.


I added the sentiment. Finished off the card with the pretty bow and some die cut ornaments. The inside of them I stamped with a part of the ornament stamp and heat embossed it in gold, also with WOW embossing powder. 



Happy Holiday Card Making!

Eine Superidee.
Ich dachte schon, du hättest den Zweig ausgeschnitten!!! Aber das wäre Arbeit für einen, der Vater, Mutter und Großeltern erschlagen hat!!! Diese Idee, den Zweig mit farblosem Embossingpulver zu konservieren ist einfach nur genial. Muss ich mir merken. Danke für den Tipp.
Ansonsten ist die Karte klasse geworden.
Und nun lösch nicht wieder alle Kommentare (vor Langeweile???),
ganz ganz liebe Grüße über den großen Teich

Lovely. The ghost outline around the pine bough looks amazing against that gorgeous blue. Those pops of red really make it festive and the sentiment is a wonderful greeting.

That's one of the nicest pine branches I've seen and you made it shine with the ornaments, Cornelia.

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
