Color Throwdown #474

Hi Everbody,

I saw Michele Ferguson's card on Instagram and knew I had to play along with Color Throwdown this week. thank you Michele, you are such an enabler!


I pulled out my neglected Winter Woods set from Papertrey to make this card.
The birds are a little tricky to stamp - as most layering stamps are, but I managed.

This is this weeks amazing inspiration picture:


As you can see, I basically just copied it.....I popped up the birds with foam tape and added Washi on the side.


Those are unusual colors for me, since I generally like it bright and colorful, but I am always up for a good challenge!

Bin ich wirklich auf Cornelia's blog? Wo sind die knalligen Farben??? Nun mal ehrlich - hat es weh getan, mit dieser neutralen Palette zu arbeiten? ;) Du hast es jedenfalls geschafft und die Karte sieht sehr schön aus! Mein Kompliment!

Boy, this is a departure from your style but, nonetheless, it is gorgeous. Restful and you've lined up the layers perfectly. After seeing Michele's entry, I can definitely see how your were inspired. Think yours looks amazing.

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
