Plaid Christmas

  Hi Everyone,

I am not a fan of this card, but I am showing it anyhow....should have passed on this challenge....I am not good with patterned paper, but occasionally I think I should use up all the paper I have hoarded despite my inability to use it adequately. 
those this is one of those failed attempts, LOL!
The prompt was to use plaid and I do think the paper is pretty. I added two embossed baubles (Sizzix). It's really brilliant, embossing and die cutting in one step. I did learn how to make a double bow (thanks for the internet). Added the sentiment. I also added some gilding polish to the baubles (did not really help...)


Perhaps you like this better than I do. Thanks for visiting!

Happy Stamping!

Du hast Dich aber sehr elegant aus der Affäre gezogen und obwohl Du Designpapier nicht so magst, eine sehr ansprechende Karte gebastelt.
Liebe Grüße, Flo

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...
