Topflight Stamps - The Raven

Hi Everyone,

It's Topflight Stamps day! 
This week we focus on autumn. For me that translates into Halloween....


I found this amazing raven from Crafty Individuals in the store and fell in love with it. It comes with the Edgar Allen Poe poem, although its a bit hard to read. 
I first sponged the background and then stamped the raven. I used bleach to get rid of the orange in the raven and used blue markers for his feathers. I also used markers to add color to the branch. Added white gel pen accents. Lastly I used an AALL&Create stencil to add some interest to the borders.

I hope you liked this! See you next week with more Topflight Stamps inspiration.

Addicted to Stamps and More #134 and Spotlight Sneak Peek

Hi Everyone, Its challenge time at  ATSM ! For the next two week its going to be CAS - just my thing! And hopefully yours, too! I made a birthday card, because for some reason I always need more and never seem to have enough.... I was inspired by this weeks Make it Monday , where the talented  Ashley Newell  shows us a video about  stamps and doodling. Since I  mainly own die cuts from Papertrey and not so many stamps that would fit this theme I made my own out of fun foam, using my latest Papertrey dies (just got the order a few days ago) and cut those in fun foam - it works so well - voila - you have our own stamps, spending only a fraction of the money! I doodled around the stamps as you can see. Gives you kind of a cool effect....a little more tremor and one would think I drank too much ;) Added tiny enamel dots - do you know about this month House of Cards challenge - its enamel dots - thought I'll let you know..... Our wonderful spons...

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.
