Katzelkraft - Hat das Blümchen einen Knick, ...

Hi everyone!

I'm back with a new Katzelkraft card. 

The funny German saying was the starting point for my card. 

So that it makes sense, I added a kinked flower and a big butterfly.

The background was already in my stash - made with the negative print of a stencil and Distress Oxides. I cut it to size and made stitches along the edges.

I colored the images with watercolors and then cut them out - yes, the flowers too! :) 

The butterfly's wings got a layer of Wink of Stella so that they shine nicely! ;)

I stamped the individual words for the saying with an alphabet rolling rubber stamp and cut them into labels. Colored the edges with black felt tip pen and added them. 

I don't know if this saying exists in English or other languages - probably not, because it rhymes! 

Here's a literal translation, because my English knowledge is not enough for a better one. :ll

Hat das Blümchen einen Knick, war der Schmetterling zu dick!

If the flower has a kink, the butterfly was too fat!

Hope you like it. - See you next Tuesday with a new Katzelkraft inspiration! ;)

I used:

  The flower is also from Katzelkraft but no longer available.

...just click on the image to go to the store and see it in full size.
