Katzelkraft - La nature est une symphonie

Hi everyone!

It's Katzelkraft day. This week I made a tag, using various stamp sets from Katzelkraft. 

The tag is cut out from one of my gel press experiments. 

I stamped the lace border on an different gel print, cut it out and adhered it to the bottom of the tag.  

Just above it, I stamped a small doodled border and highlighted it with white dots.  

I stamped the bird, butterfly, lily of the valley and text on the tag. Stamped the bird, butterfly and lily of the valley again on card stock. Colored the bird and butterfly with shiny metallic watercolor paints and the lily of the valley with alcohol markers. 

I cut out parts of the lily of the valley bouquet and adhered them to the already stamped flowers. Cut out the bird and butterfly and glued them on as well. Finally, I tied a piece of raffia to the tag.

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

Katzelkraft - Bliss

Hi everyone!

For this week I made a second ATC using three different Katzelkraft stamp sets - combined with a little flower and a bug from AALL&Create :))

This ATC goes with the one I made last week. I used the same background (gel press). Bunny, butterfly, bug and flowers are colored with alcohol markers, cut out and glued on. I stamped the grass and sentiments on the ATC and backed it with black cardstock.

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

Recycling + Mixed Media

Hello everyone!
Actually I just wanted to make my crafting table accessible.....
There are a lot of things lying around because it is very difficult for me to throw away even the smallest piece of paper, not to mention a punched piece or a "failed background", and as soon as I had the first remains in my hand, I got stuck! Instead of tidying up, I put things back and forth, on top of each other and next to each other...

...and little by little something like a picture came into being! 

I couldn't help it, and I was holding on to it obsessively! 

This is the result! 

...I am really very surprised by myself, but I love what came out! ;)

The background is actually a failed "in quotes" background that was originally intended for this card. - Ah, too bad I didn't take a picture before using it! But if you look closely, you can still see two lines of the outline of the mask's face, just between the branch and the left wing of the butterfly. - The rest is covered by the scalloped circle.

The butterfly and the little sentiment just above it - I had one of each left - are from this card swapping project.

The balloon, too, is a "more or less" failure! It was originally supposed to be on this card.

The flower behind the circles, it goes back a long way! It is printed on tracing paper, but was too large to have been used for the project at the time.

As for the circles, they're one of the remnants in creating this card.

The clef and the note are cut-outs that have got stuck in a stencil. 

The frog came from this card, I probably overdid it! Haha

I can't say for which projects the branch, the ladybugs and the strip with the writing were intended, but hey, you can't remember everything! 

Well, that was the story of that card, a somewhat unusual style, I must say, but I hope you like it!

Enjoying every moment...

...that's what it says on the tag.

Hello everyone!
I made this card a few month ago for a card swap and I have to show it now, otherwise it will get lost among all the cards that pile up here! LOL
Seriously, I've been pushing it aside for a while now because there's always another card taking its place!

The requirement was a tag on a card. 

The butterfly is punched out of paper which I dyed with yellow and orange ink and some brown splashes.
The tag is cut out from a remnant of an old piece of paper that I had made using the smoothing technique with green and gold ink - supplemented with a mix of different stamps.

It is glued to an embossed background which is backed with black paper and then glued to the card base. 

...I really love the wooden look!

In total I made 9 of them...

Have a nice time and stay safe!!

Pop Up Box Card zum Muttertag

Pop up box card pour la Fête des Mères

Heute ist Muttertag und für meine Mama, füllte ich diese Box mit Blumen und Schmetterlingen.

Aujourd'hui c'est la Fête des Mères en Allemagne et j'ai remplie cette box avec des fleurs et des papillons pour ma maman.

Noch ist sie geschlossen und man vermutet nichts von der ganzen Blütenpracht .....

Elle est encore fermé et, on ne soupçonne rien de toute cette floraison .....

aber sobald man die Karte aufklappt, kommen Blumen und Schmetterlinge in Hülle und Fülle zum Vorschein. 

Die Blätter der Blumen sind alle aus Federn, und die Schmetterlinge flattern auf dünnen, transparenten Streifen durch die Luft. Das Papier mit den Pünktchen habe ich selber gestaltet.

mais dès que vous ouvrez la carte, des fleurs et des papillons viennent en abondance. 

Les feuilles des fleurs sont tous faits de plumes et les papillons, voltigent dans l'air sur des minces bandelettes transparentes. Le papier avec les petits points, est de ma fabrication.

Der Blick von oben, lässt auch das schöne Bild im Hintergrund ins Rampenlicht kommen!

La vue de dessus, permets également à la belle image du le fond, de venir sous les projecteurs!

Es ist einer meiner neuen Stempel, die ich mir vor ein paar Wochen kaufte, 

auch hier habe ich ein paar Federn und einen Schmetterling als Deko verwendet.

C'est un de mes nouvelles estampilles que je me suis acheté voilà quelques semaines, 

ici aussi, j'ai utilisé quelques plumes et un papillon comme décoration.

In die Schleife fügte ich ein kleines Schildchen "Für Dich" ein, auf dessen Herz ein winziges Glitzersteinchen klebt. 

Dans la boucle, j'ai inséré une petite étiquette "pour toi", sur son cœur, colle un minuscule strass.

Zum Schluß habe ich noch ein paar Vögel auf die Kante gesetzt .... ich liebe diese Stanze!! 

Pour finir, j'ai placé quelques oiseaux sur le bord ..... j'adore ce die!!

Ich wünsche allen Müttern einen wundervollen Tag und hoffe, dass euch diese etwas andere Karte gefällt.

Je souhaite un jour merveilleux à toutes les mamans et j'espère que vous aimez cette carte légèrement différente.

Vielen vielen Dank für all die netten Worte zu den letzten Posts, 

(leider hatte ich nicht viel Zeit zum basteln in den vergangenen Wochen ...)

Merci beaucoup pour toutes les mots gentils sur les dernièrs posts 

(malheureusement, je n'ai pas eu beaucoup de temps pour bricoler ces dernières semaines ...)

bis bald

à très bientôt
