Happy Birthday with Cat #6

Hi Everyone,

I needed a birthday card for somebody special and I took that opportunity to play along with CASology's 5th birthday blog hop party.
The theme is balloon.

So here is my card:


I took Big Cat #6 from Katzelkraft and colored her/him with Inktense pencils. Added the balloon (MFT) and sponged it with distress inks. Added the die cuts. You might wonder how this card is going to fit in an envelope....
No problem!


It folds up - I have a lot of slightly bigger envelopes that I use for "over the edge" cards - gotta take one of those. You see a tiny bit of string peeking out at the bottom - if you pull on it, the balloon "stands up" again.



A very happy birthday to CASology - to the next 5 years!

Happy Stamping!

Diese Karte ist herrlich!!!
Die Katze ist DER Hit und du hast sie mal wieder toll in Szene gesetzt.
Aber wie funktioniert dieser Ziehmechanismus!!!
Da muss doch irgendwie eine Führungsschiene dabei sein, denn wie stellt sich der Ballon sonst aufrecht hin?
Aber vielleicht kann ich nicht kreativ genug denken :-(((
Liebe Grüße

Always knew you were a genius...now I have proof. This card is beyond funny, cute, fabulous. Not only the coloring of the images (who doesn't believe a cat needs a microphone) but the construction. Add engineer to you many titles.

I love cats, now I have two kittens at home and that is why I love this card! Sweet singing kitten :-)) But I know that cat singing is not always so nice, hehe.
I love this huge balloon. Looks amazing!

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
