Stempel Spass

    Hi Everyone, I am playing along with  Woodblock Wednesday  from Amy Tsuruta. It's such a good excuse to play with my wonderful wood stamps! And since Valentine's Day is near I thought I make an appropriate card for that occasion - for cat lovers anyway...it also would work for a bunch of other occsions. I first stamped the cats (Stampotique). Then I masked off a stripe. Made myself a mask for the cats and brushed the background with distress inks in rainbow colors. Stamps the dots (All Night Media).  Took the masks off and colored the cats with alcohol ink markers. Added white Posca pen accents. Stamped the sentiment (Rubber soul) and added 2 enamel dots. And here are all those wonderful woodblock stamps: Hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting! Happy Stamping!

      Hi Everyone,  I have a variation on the ca bit of a different Katzelkraft card I showed last week here.  I used the new flower set Ginko and Co I made a watercolor background. Added some splatters. Stamped the flowers on it and doodled some "grass" at the bottom. I also added a bit more color to the flowers. I didn't think it needed a sentiment. This is a simple one-layer card. The stamps I used are from the following sets:   Ginko and Co  -  KTZ311 (FRANCE) Ginko and Co  - KTZ311,  (USA Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration.

 Hi Everyone, I am back with a Christmas card - trying to stick with my weekly card. I got inspired to play along with the Can you handle the pressure challenge and combined it with Christmas Kickstart I dry embossed the background and sprayed it lightly with shimmer spray - doesn't really show on the photo. I die cut Rudolph (Memory Box). I trimmed the card and added ancient Washi tape on the side. I also added some gold thread under Rudolph and gave him a red nose with a tiny gem. Added the sentiment (Darkroom Door) with foam tape and added a few enamel dots. I hope you liked this.

Hi Everyone, This week's theme is "Red and Pink" on the  Topflight blog .  I guess it's because we are close to Valentine's Day. I first was hesitant about the color combination and it took me a while to come up with something, but I am quite happy with the result! I used this pretty flower from Crafty Individuals and colored it in red and pink shades. Did some light brushing with distress ink (Kitsch Flamingo) in the back of the flower. I added the stamp  Abstract 04  onto the side. Added the heat embossed sentiments with foam tape. I also added a bunch of gems for some sparkle.. I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.  See you next week with more  Topflight Stamps  inspiration.
