Stencil Ghosting

Hi Everyone,

I am in Easter card mode and I wanted to play in the CAS Stencil challenge. The theme is ghosting.


I had a lot of trouble with it. I finally produced something I kind of can live with.....Still not happy at all. It makes everything look fuzzy. but it is, what it is.....


 I used my favorite "egg" iStencil for this - made a lot of Easter cards with it in the past. Those things look like eggs to me. Below you see my failed ghosting attempt. But I cheated here and sponged some matching color over the ghosted areas, as they didn't show up well. I like it much better. New technique, huh - I call it reverse ghosting, LOL!


My second card was supposed to go onto Colour Throwdown, but I missed the deadline.....Still love those colors!

Both your cards are awesome, Cornelia! Ghosting is supposed to leave a bit of a fussy edge on the design. I love the bright green with your sweet white bunny. The green tummy is so fun! Your original card looks fantastic with the sponging over top of the ghosting to bring out the contrast. Very clever. Love the colours and your sweet adorable brown bunny! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Stencil!

Boy oh boy, amazing amount of challenges you met with this post.
Love your favorite stencil on both cards and all 3 colors you chose. You're making those bunnies very happy with their background and the recipients with their Easter cards.

I think both of your cards are wonderful. I love the fuzziness of the green ghosting. It looks great... and I did get a chuckle out of your new technique - reverse ghosting. That is the beautiful thing about this kind of art - it is always unique. I love what you did. Thanks for joining in our GREEN challenge at Addicted To CAS.

Liebe Cornelia,
es geht doch!!!!!
Eine wunderbare Karte hast Du zuwege gebracht, mehrere Lagen und auch für Kinder geeignet. Kinder müssen ja zwangsläufig nicht immer klein sein, auch große Kinder bekommen gerne mal eine Karte zugesteckt (noch lieber, wenn sie einen raschelnden Inhalt hat *hihihi*).
Schön, dass Du bei NSS dabei bist.
LG Flo

Diese Technik kenne ich gar nicht, aber es gibt einen guten Effekt. Und man braucht gar nicht viel zusätzlich und schon ist eine Karte fertig. Klasse.
Schön, das du bei Night-Shift-Stamping dabei bist.

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

Combined So Suzy and The Ton Blog Hop

Hi Everyone, I am sooooo excited to be part of this amazing event - a combined hop between So Suzy Stamps and The Ton! I have been eyeing The Ton stamps and dies for quite a while - they are just gorgeous! And So Suzy - well you have seen their stamps on my blog - they are simply fabulous! I also love that they are made from rubber - its different stamping with them. Its much better for generational stamping and they don't stick to your paper when you use your Misti. You may have arrived from the fabulous  Eunji - its a hard act to follow her.... I got those gorgeous  Peonies Dies  from The Ton and die cut them with water color paper. Spritzed Dylusion inks on a sheet of plastic and dipped the dies into the colors. Mounted them onto black card stock. Added the So Suzy Birthday sentiment - heat embossed in white. Lastly I added a strip of envelope liner paper at the bottom. Here are my supplies: So Suzy Birthday sentiment ,  Peo...
