Stampotique March Challenge

Hi Everyone,

we at Stampotique have a new challenge, it is in its second week - the theme is "Mail Art". 


I used the Funky Town stamp for my background. I stamped half of the stamp on the left and the other half on the right of the envelope. The center house I drew by hand. The cute dogs are from the Dog Cube. As usual I colored it all with Inktense pencils. Added  a Finetec gold ball onto the top of my hand drawn house. Added white gel pen to the windows and the dogs.
The address is made up, of course. Waiting for some dog lover to mail out this card....



Stampotique Challenges run every TWO weeks......
Please remember you can use any stamps for our challenge and you are allowed to have 2 entries per challenge. From all the current months entries we will draw 2 random winners who will each win a 30.00 gift certificate on the first week of the following month.

Have fun with 
Hope to see you at the challenge!

What a fun idea for a challenge!! Your envelope would be too darn fabulous to open, Cornelia! I think it would be framed unopened as art!! Another wonderful unique take on the HOME challenge for the March HLS Cas challenge! Thanks for playing again!! Hugs, Darnell

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
