Goodbye Tension

Hi Everyone,

one of my favorite clerks at work is retiring and you know what that means - I needed a card for her.
That flamingo from Your Next Stamp is  my favorite for that. I just love his expression.


I used the colors and ind of the sketch from YNS current challenge to get me started. Used an embossing folder as background and colored with water brush pens. Added some sequins.
I love that hilarious sentiment. Can't wait for my own retirement...


Happy Stamping!

Deine Arbeitskollegin wird sicherlich sehr erfreut sein über dieses tolle Kärtchen.
Der Flamingo sieht schon heftig unternehmungslustig aus - ob sie oder er das ebenso sieht???
Dein Blog hat ja wieder ein neues Outfit bekommen: sieht gut aus.
Komm gut ins Neue Jahr,
ganz liebe Grüße, Flo

Don't know how you continue to come up with these splendiferous cards. Just another example of your design genius and sense of humor. This flamingo looks like he/she can't wait to leave that job behind. So cute and funny.

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...
