Back to School

 Hi Everyone,

just a quick post - don't want to miss the deadline for the Paper Players this week and you might have guessed it - the theme is "back to school".


Now while some children might be excited to go back others are perhaps not so sure and I made this card for exactly those kids. I always was dreading going back to school myself. So glad I don't have to do that anymore ;)

I used one of my gelli plate backgrounds and added the Katzelkraft cat. The dies are unbranded and some Washi tape at the bottom. Pretty quick.


Happy Stamping!

Die Miez passt ja hier wirklich perfekt. Ich habe mich immer auf die Schule gefreut und auf das Wiedersehen mit den Klassenkameraden.
Unsere erste Schulwoche war aufregend. Am Montag hatte Sohnemann einen Fahrradunfall (aber keine Sorge, dem Fahrrad geht's gut .. ;-) ) und am Mittwoch hat er den falschen Bus genommen und ich musste ihn auf der Landstraße aufsammeln!! Mal schauen, mit was er uns heute überrascht.

This cat, those eyes...beyond fantastic. Your gelli plate background is luscious and the custom made sentiment ROCKS...especially after seeing the cat eyes focused on it. Giggled for hours.

This card would be great for two of my granddaughters - one starting college and one starting high school. Change is not their friend.

Oh gosh, Cornelia ... what a brilliant take on back to school! Fantastic vibrant, exciting background ... and then that poor little kitty welling up at the thought, set against it. It would, I think, bring a smile to the face even of those not ready for the Rentrée! Hugs, Anita :)

Love the background, the design and colors are wonderful. The cat is so fun, he does look as if he is very hesitant. Thanks so much for playing along with us at Little Red Wagon Challenge this week!

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
