STAMPlorations Inspiration #231 and a Farewell

Hi Everyone,

its inspiration time at STAMPlorations!
For me this is going to be me last inspiration post - I am stepping down from this wonderful team. I have been with STAMPlorations almost from the beginning and have been watching this company grow and prosper. It was a wonderful experience and I will miss it dearly. However work has made my life difficult and I don't know what the future will hold for me. I simply could not commit to another term.

I wanted to say thank you to Shery Russ the owner and mastermind behind STAMPlorations for all her hard work, for having faith in me, supplying me with those wonderful stamps and letting me be part of this! Extra thanks also to Monika Skinner our hard working blog coordinator!

Thankful for Autumn, Mixed Media Elements

I stamped the pumpkins. Masked them. Smooshed the background. Used some Mixed Media elemnt stamps to color the pumpkins. Trimmed my panel and added a thin strip of black paper. Stamped the sentiment.

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...
