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

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...
