The Night before Christmas

Hi Everyone,

here is my weekly Christmas card - playing with Merry Monday - the theme is the night before Christmas. I am going with those lines:

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer, 
With a little old driver, so lively and quick, 
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.  


It kind off resulted in a modern version with those Paper Smooches skyscrapers. The Santa sleigh is from an old Inkadinkadoo set. Added some Washi tape and white paint snow splatters


Also linking up with:
CAS Mix-up challenge - stamping and splattering
Die Traumfabrik - Hüter des Lichts/Rise of the Guardians
ABC Christmas Card Challenges - J-Jingle Bells K-keep it simple

Ein toller Hintergrund, vor dem die Silhouetten sehr gut wirken! Auch gefällt es mir, wie du die Washi Tapes hier eingesetzt hast.
Kurz war ich erschrocken und musste schnell einen Blick auf den Kalender werfen. Puh, es ist noch etwas Zeit für die Weihnachtskartenproduktion. ;))
Liebe Grüße

Wie... du bist schon wieder bei Weihnachten??? Hab ich was verpasst???
Deine Abendhimmelkarte gefällt mir sehr gut.
Ich denke, wenn man ganz genau in den Himmel schaut, kann man jetzt schon den Weihnachtsmann mit seinem Schlitten über den Sternenhimmel sausen sehen, allerdings nicht in schwarz wie bei dir, sondern in sternenweiß.
Dir und deiner Familie ein schönes Wochenende

This is great, Cornelia. Definitely different than mine but more like what I think Clement Moore had in mind when he wrote the poem.

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

Combined So Suzy and The Ton Blog Hop

Hi Everyone, I am sooooo excited to be part of this amazing event - a combined hop between So Suzy Stamps and The Ton! I have been eyeing The Ton stamps and dies for quite a while - they are just gorgeous! And So Suzy - well you have seen their stamps on my blog - they are simply fabulous! I also love that they are made from rubber - its different stamping with them. Its much better for generational stamping and they don't stick to your paper when you use your Misti. You may have arrived from the fabulous  Eunji - its a hard act to follow her.... I got those gorgeous  Peonies Dies  from The Ton and die cut them with water color paper. Spritzed Dylusion inks on a sheet of plastic and dipped the dies into the colors. Mounted them onto black card stock. Added the So Suzy Birthday sentiment - heat embossed in white. Lastly I added a strip of envelope liner paper at the bottom. Here are my supplies: So Suzy Birthday sentiment ,  Peo...
