So Suzy & Crackerbox Stamps - Celebrating Frog

Hi Everyone,
 today I have a card for you, using my So Suzy & Crackerbox Stamps.
The sentiment is perfect for the current Time Out challenge - I think they got their theme from them..... I couldn't resist to play along.



I used one of my favorite frogs (the celebrating frog) - he normally wears a party hat, but I masked it away. Challenged myself at no line coloring - still no better at it. LOL, I guess doing it once a year is not enough practice....
I used a combination of Inktense pencils and Stabilo markers. In the end I added white gel pen accents. Also added a thin strip of Washi tape for more interest.


If you are wondering who inspired me - it was Ksenija from Sweet Kobylkin with THIS card. Please don't compare our coloring - she is a master and I am a bloody beginner......

Happy no line water coloring!

I think you've practiced enough. Took a very close look at this little inebriated guy and he looks perfectly colored to me so you can add no-line coloring to you expansive list of talents. That sentiment is absolutely perfect for all these challenges but especially Time Out's. It's got my vote, anyway.

Great that you used the sentiment on your card! The frog looks great, but I can understand your frustration about the no-line colouring... I try it more than oince a year, but am never stisfied with what I see...it takes a lot of practice...and there are so many fun techniques :) Great to see your work at the gallery at time out again! Thanks for joining!

Hahahahaha ... what a riot, Cornelia! I'm amazed you have the actual quote that matches our theme ... and to pair it with this tipsy frog was a genius idea! This is just so much fun ... your colouring looks great to me ... and the green-ness is delicious! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Time Out! Hugs, Anita :)

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
