Topflight Stamps - Nature Card with Katzelkraft

      Hi Everyone,

It's Topflight Stamps day! 
This week we are featuring stamps by Katzelkraft. 
I figured instead of my usual funny card I go with something more serene this time. Katzelkraft has a nature stamp line - but you probably know that. 
I made a smooshed background with an acrylic block and distress oxide inks (Mermaid lagoon, peeled paint, wild honey). I stamped the dill and butterflies on it. Added the word stamps in similar colored inks. 
I also stamped the butterflies again on heat resistant acetate and heat embossed them in black. Colored their backside with alcohol inks and cut them out. I colored the butterflies on the card with orange Inktense pencils. I glued the bodies of the cut out butterflied to the stamped ones and bent them a bit, so you can see the dimension. It's also nice when the light falls through the acetate. Added some white enamel accents to the wings. Also added some splatters.

I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting. 
See you next week with more Topflight Stamps inspiration.
And here are the stamp supplies I used: 
       Versafine ink pad                  Prism Dye Ink Pads

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg.

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.
