Stempel Spass

Hi Everyone, my Christmas card production is still in full swing.....so I am playing in a few more challenges. And I do love the Muse challenges - thankfully there is two of them now :) My first one I made for the Muse Christmas Vision challenge where Kimberly Wiener made this glittery masterpiece. I did a redux of it, keeping it more mellow.  The die cuts I used are by Memory Box, the sentiment is by Neat&Tangled, To get some glitter on my card I took a splatter stamp by  Stamplorations - Mixed Media Elements  and stamped it in Versamark over the sentiment and glittered it up with adhesive embossing powder and of course glitter. Kimberley's card:   The glitter splotch really doe not come out in the picture...too bad. It sparkles quite wonderful in real life.... The baubles are cut from shimmer paper and I mounted the whole card on wood PP. Also linking up with: Memory Box challenge  - Season's Greetings. ______ ...

Hi Everyone, my crazy bird went Krafty :) Colored him with pencils, masked and stamped some Stamploration - Mixed Media Grunge stamps as background. The sentiment is also by Stamplorations - Fond Expressions and the "happy DAD" is Studio G stamps. Added a strip of DP. I never enjoyed making Father's Day cards as much as this year - must be those birds....

Hi Everyone,  you probably are thinking now I that I am completely crazy, but don't worry, I'm not.... I made this card specifically for my blogging friend Carol from Just me: c, after she left me a real funny blog comment about the birds being larger than hippos in her part of the world...never mind that she lives in Canada and they ain't havin' hippos there, chuckle... Used one of those crazy birds by Tim Holtz. The sentiments are by  Stamplorations - Noteworthy  and Hero Arts. Also used one of the Mixed Media Grunge stamps . The hippo is by Rubber soul. The colors I got from Colour me....! - see below. Added splatters, of course. Linking up with : The Male Room - birds Colour me....!
