Muse Christmas Vision

Hi Everyone,

I felt like making a Christmas card - in July, playing with the Muse Christmas visions! Perhaps to cool off...although our summer so far has been great - not too hot or humid. Just perfect!


I did not do any stamping on this card - it might be a first for me. I went with the unconventional Christmas colors on Chris' card and the dry embossing. But as you can see I switched the gloves for the tree. I dry embossed the tree as well as my background paper. Die cut the sentiment and used one of those pieces that falls out of the letters for my tree topper.

Schön, die rosa Holzoptik im HG und der hellgrüne Weihnachtsbaum passt wunderbar dazu!
Du, die Gundi ist leider schon wieder weg! Sie waren nur übers WE bei uns und wir hatten nicht mal Zeit was zusammen zu basteln denn ich hatte auch noch meine beiden Enkelkinder im Haus - da gibts keine Auszeit!! Aber zum Quatschen hatten wir schon Zeit ;) - natürlich viel zu wenig aber schön wars!

Katzelkraft - Stampotique Raven

Hi Everyone, Do you know that   Katzelkraft has aquired Stampotique stamps? This fun raven is designed by Daniel Torrente (#6314). I used an old background from my stashs.  I stamped the bird and colored it with alcohol ink markers.  I brushed distrss ink onto the background and added some pattern with the   Mandala Magic stencil  from Funky Fossil Designs.I used one of the border stamps on the left for more interest.  Stamped the sentiment  and doodled a frame around the sentiment.Added a googly eye to the bird and drew in some eye lashes.  The stamps I used are from the following sets: Spiral Borders - KTZ286,  Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276  (FRANCE) Spiral Borders  - KTZ286 , Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276 (USA) Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration.  Thanks for visiting! Happy Stamping! Linking up with: Simon Says Wednesday challenge  - fur or feathers
