Topflight Stamps meets the Day of the Month Card Club

Hi Everyone,

It's Topflight Stamps day! 
And since I am pressed for time I thought I am going to combine it with the Day of the Month Card Club, which has National Bird Day as it's theme.


You have perhaps seen my bottle series. First I thought I am done after 4 cards, but everyone seems to like them. Besides I got some spice jars and a bird feeder as Christmas present from a good friend of mine, so I needed a thank you card. Basically killing three birds with one stone, so to speak....although the only thing I manage to kill is mosquitos and mice in my house....

This card is quite simple, but it took me a while to get the layout right. I wanted more bottles but it became too busy. Should have used a bigger card format for that, but I wanted to stick with what I usually do. So eventually I scaled it down to one bottle only and two birds. Did some masking and colored with watercolors and markers. For my stamp supplies see below.


Don't forget to visit the Day of the Month Card Club blog to get inspiration from the awesome DT girls and our wonderful guest designer Susan, who was voted winner  in our 21th challenge.

I am looking forward to see your creations using birds!
You have until 1/31/2021 to link up your paper art.
 See you next week with more Topflight Stamps inspiration.

Die Glasflaschen haben es Dir z.Zt. angetan, aber wenigstens hast Du dieses mal niemanden darin eingesperrt ... *kicher*

Die beiden Vögel sehen toll aus. Die hast Du wieder aml hervorragend koloriert. Ob die an die Samen in der Glasflasche kommen??? Ich wünsche es ihnen, damit sie nicht verhungern in diesem merkwürdigen Winter.
Liebe Grüße

The perfect Thank You card for the gift you received. Everyone likes these bottle cards because they are made so beautifully by you. Colors are as fantastic as the composition. Once again, you've made the perfect scene.
I always have to marvel at your fantastic coloring. This is a great card design too.

Fabulous job on the masking - one of my favourite techniques (I still get that sense of excitiment when you peel away the mask and "magically" have a little scene!). Love your card!

Geniale Karte, die Vögel sind ja der Hit.

Liebe Grüße

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

Some more Christmas Cards...

Hi Everyone, there still are some Christmas cards  I made awhile ago and have not yet posted.... This one I made for the  Runway Inspired Challenge . The inspiration photo is below. I found it a little tricky to make this into a Christmas card, but with the help  of Neat&Tangled stamps it worked....The stitched dies are by Simon Says. Added some Washi tape on top (the headdress) and silver glitter paper at the bottom (the floor and silver shoes) and voila a Christmas card! My second card I made with an iStencil, gold embossing paste, faux pearls, an enamel dot and lots of splatters. The stitched die I cut the Kraft panel with is by Simon Says. I love this stencil and stenciled cards are just so quick and easy to make. I used this one for several cards this year, on of which you can see HERE . http://www.istencils.com/store/products/22-00029 I am linking up this card with: Stamps and fun=Creativity - Christmas U...
