Pink and Purple Christmas

Hi Everyone,

now since I am not on so many DT's anymore I actually have time to play in challenges! Need more Christmas cards. 52 CCT has an  old technique for us - I had done it in the past but didn't know it has a name. It's called Josephs Coat.


I used a background stamp from Simon Says Stamps, the sentiment is Hero Arts and the die cuts are by Alexandra Renke.


And here is the winner of my little Christmas give away that I had on my blog recently:


 Big congratulations Rosi - your elf is on its merry way!

Linking up with:
52 CCT - Joseph's Coat technique
Addicted to CAS - pink and purple
Simon Says Monday challenge - something clear (clear embossed those little trees)

This is so creative...love the non-traditional colors and those downright, adorable diecuts.
Your card is so well designed. I have not done Joseph's Coat in ages. Thanks for the reminder.

Mega schön!!!! Ich habe mich mit der Technik total schwer getan, erst Versuch Nr.3 war einigermaßen brauchbar, obwohl ich alles nach Anleitung gemacht habe.
Naja, was soll's, man mus ja nicht alles können.

A beautiful smart and stylish card. The purple is unusual but gives a fabulous look for this technique. Thanks for joining in at 52CCT

I had forgotten about that technique too, Cornelia. It worked beautifully to let that pink and purple shine in your unconventional but so YOU Christmas card. Thanks for sharing it with us at Addicted to CAS.

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...
