Katzelkraft - Hello Spring

Hi everyone!

I'm back with a new Katzelkraft project :)) 

I always keep stamped and often already colored images that I didn't use when creating other projects. 

Today I pulled out some of these leftovers to make this spring ATC.

I also never throw away any scraps of paper, even the smallest snippet gets a second chance!

...and sometimes those scraps and leftovers just go well together :))

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

Katzelkraft - Easter Egg Hunt

Hi everyone!

I'm back wit a new Katzelkraft project :)) 

My first Easter card...

I modified the bunny a little to make it look less cute (because he's a camouflaged egg hunter! ;)) ) and to match the glasses. The headband is actually a scarf that I flipped over and cut off the ends to get the knot. (Note the camouflage here too)! 

I also dressed the rabbit in the coat of one of the Pabos, but you can hardly see it because of the big eggs.

I die-cut the eggs from patterned paper and colored them in some places with alcohol ink markers. Stamped the Easter sentiment on camouflage patterned paper and cut it out. Traced the letters with black fineliner and added some accents with a white Posca pen. 

Before glueing on all the cut out pieces, I spritzed the card with pink and green ink. 

Finally, I stuck a strip of washi tape to the bottom edge and brushed the edges of the card with dark green ink.

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

Find your Wild

Hi everyone!

Time for a new challenge at the Dream Factory

Our movie for this month is:

Fantastic Mr. Fox

This month we're going underground! 

Foxes, rabbits, rats, mice, dogs, badgers, hamsters, moles etc, 

are digging an underground tunnel system to escape some angry farmers. 

Today I did a little masking again to create this one layer card. 

As the new Dream Factory challenge is about foxes and other animals, I decided to spotlight this beautiful fox. The stamp was recently available at Action and it was just too cute to pass by. 

I surrounded the fox with flowers and foliage from Katzelkraft. 

The sentiment + moon and stars are a fragment from a large background stamp. (see below)

The background I brushed with Mermaid Lagoon and Seedless Preserves (Distress Oxide) and then splattered it with black ink. Finally, I colored the fox, flowers and moon with alcohol ink markers and stamped the foliage/grass with Rustic Wilderness (Distress Oxide).

Have Fun!

Katzelkraft - Life is a Zoo

Hi everyone!

It's Katzelkraft day :)) 

For today's card I used lots of different sets of animal stamps as well as foliage stamps for the background.

I usually don't do "this" much stamping and masking to create a card.... 

...but today I did and I'm really pleased how it turned out :)) 

First I stamped the animals around the edge of the card and masked them. Next, I stencilled the sunrays and stamped the sun (Fossilized Amber - Distress Oxide). Brushed the spaces between the sunbeams with Mermaid Lagoon and the lower part of the card with Mowed Lawn (Distress Oxide). 

I then stamped the foliage and removed the masks. 

I colored the animals with alcohol ink markers and finally stamped the quote.

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