Katzelkraft - Christmas Cheer

Hello everyone!

Today is Katzelkraft Day on my blog and I have another one of their fantastic new stamps for you to discover!

And yes, it's another Christmas card! 

I don't know why, but I love making these kind of cards - they always come to mind very easily!

Now on to the making of!

First, I made masks of the caracters and positioned them on the card to get an idea. 

Then I started stamping - first of all the Santa hat, which I then covered with its mask to stamp the little man (Mr. Pabos). I covered the man to stamp the animal (I think it's a fat racoon), and masked the animal as well.

Ok, now that everything was masked, I could do the background.

First I sponged the moon and... 

...you guessed it, I masked it! 👍

I also put a piece of torn paper on the lower third of the card to keep the aera free for snow and then I sponged the rest of the background. I took off the mask of the moon and stamped the fir trees.

The background was ready, I could now remove all masks and color the images with alcohol markers. 

Finally I stamped the sentiment, a couple of branches (lower left corner), added a few accents here and there, and as a last touch I spritzed some white ink on the card.

The muzzle and reins are a little extra fun that I added at the last moment.

Hope you my funny little scene! -  See you next Tuesday with a new Katzelkraft inspiration! ;)
