Katzelkraft - Fairy Lights

Hi everyone!

I have the great honor of being this month's guest designer at Try it on Tuesday. The theme is: Winter Blues 

I immediately thought of the snowflakes from the wonderful Christmas Snowflakes set, as my weekly Katzelkraft post is also due today.

Well, winter hasn't said its last word yet 

and you can never start making winter/Christmas cards too early anyway - right? 

If you want to work on your first cards for this year, Try it on Tuesday has the perfect challenge to do so! 

First, I sprayed a sheet of Bristol paper with water on both sides, placed it on my work space and started to apply the colors Mermaid Lagoon, Peacock Feathers and Seedless Preserves (all Distress Oxide). To do this, I used a stamp, which I re-inked each time and pressed more or less firmly onto the damp paper.

In between, I dried the colors again and again with the heat gun. Each time I moistened the paper again and applied the colors until I liked the result. Finally, I added a few splashes of color to bring more dynamics into the picture.

Now that the background was finished, I just had to stamp and emboss the snowflakes. The large snowflake in the bottom right corner is from Stampin'Up.

Last but not least, I added white and black ink splatters and stamped the sentiment. I cut the panel to size and added faux stitches before adhering it to a blank card. For this card I was very inspired by one of Yoonsun's wonderful cards.  

...see you soon at "Try it on Tuesday" ;)

and...

...see you next Tuesday with a new Katzelkraft inspiration! ;)
