Windy Day

Hi Everyone,

I really like this "Windy Day" stamp from Katzelkraft - just perfect for blustery winter weather. After all we are supposed to get some snow here on Saturday. Which will be bad, because my huge oak tree just lost all its leaves just now and I still have to get loads of them out front to be picked up....


I masked, colored with Inktense pencils and sponged. The pretty sentiment is from So Suzy Stamps. I liked this the best. Picked it from my huge supply of sentiment stamps.... Splattered white paint. Added Washi tape on the side and a bright red enamel dot for balance.


In case you fall in love with this girl and don't want to order from France - you can also get this in the US from TopFlight Stamps.

Happy Snow Day to all of you!

Herrlich!!! diese Figur mit ihrer Windstoßfrisur!!!
Gestern war es hier auch sehr windig und eklig kalt dazu. Das ging durch bis auf die Knochen.
Deine Karte erinnerte mich daran.
Liebe Grüße, Flo

Not only am I in love with this image, but I LOVE your contrast between the brights and the grey! So moody and wonderful!

Ha ... that's such a brilliant image, Cornelia ... no wonder you love it! She's so beautifully coloured and you captured the sense of all that wild wind beautifully with the background and splattering! Hugs, Anita :)

Your gray background really adds to the stormy feel of your card, Cornelia, and the bright colors of the girl speak to the uplifting sentiment.

I love this stamp and will be ordering it after the first of the year...unfortunately, my budget has been totally blown (boo hoo). In any case, the card is perfect and the sentiment...wow, anything Lauren Bacall said is right up my alley.
Good luck with the oak leaves...just finished picking up ours yesterday.

Oh my what a beautiful card. The sentiment is perfect and that wind swept girl is such a fantastic image. I like your mashup of bold colours with the moody greys of the windy day and the white splatters let you know it's not only windy but cold too! Thanks for the information on where to get the design in the states. Thanks so much for sharing your creation at the Watercooler Wednesday "Feminine" challenge this week. Love it!

Such fabulous movement on your amazing card. Great sentiment and love all the detailing of the tape, the one red dot and the splats x

Hi Cornelia! What a great card. That stamp of her blowing in the wing is great! The bright red raincoat really catches your eye. Plus the washi tape brings all the colors together.

Congratulations on the fabulous card!

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...
