Katzelkraft - They didn't know...

Hi everyone!

It's Katzelkraft day :)) 

Today I used two of the new Stampotique by Katzelkraft stamps - Gena by Daniel Torrente and Sea cube quotes by Tera Callihan. I combined them with stamps from two older Katzelkraft stamp sets - Background circles and Vinci Vitruvius.

The background comes from an art magazine. It showed shells under water. As the paper was glazed, I had to use StazOn Black Jet to stamp on the bubbles/circles, the wings and the girl. 

Next I brushed the sheet with white gesso in places, let it dry and then stamped on some little fish and a seahorse. (StazOn again) --- By painting the surface with gesso, I created an effect of depth between the background and the foreground elements. I stamped little bubbles going up from the girl's mouth and splattered white ink all over the surface. - The background was ready! 

I then stamped the girl, the jellyfish and the octopus on Bristol paper. Colored them with alcohol ink markers and cut them out. Phew, can't tell you how fiddly that was!

I stuck the things on. Stamped the quote, cut it into labels and added these too. 

I colored the wings with gel metallic pens, blue, green and pink.

The blue is actually much lighter than it looks in the photo above. 

Honestly, 

I'm a bit proud of my work because I'm not yet very familiar with the Stampotique brand characters.

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