Katzelkraft Rat Hole

Hi Everyone,

It's Katzelkraft time!
Playing with my favorite rats and a hole...... A rathole, if you will!


This card required a bit of masking. The rest was easy - Inktense pencils. The letters are die cuts (Papertrey) and the tiny sentiment is from STAMPlorations.


You think you need those stamps?

You can get them directly from France: rats, paper hole
or in the US at Topflight Stamps, Frantic Stamper or Lost Coast Designs


Happy Masking!

Linking up with:
Craft Stamper TIMI Challenge March - take a stamp
Happy Little Stampers CAS challenge - Home (a rat home, of course!)
Stamp Ink Paper - four legged friends

Take It, Make It Challenge

Hahaha!! Oh, I adore this rats!!! I wouldn't want them crawling anywhere near or inside my house but, I can't help but smile at these group of pals just living it up in a hole somewhere!!!!!
Fabulous coloring Cornelia and extraordinary masking!! I must go check out that hole image, I've never seen it on Katzelkraft, but then again, maybe I haven't look carefully enough.
Thank you for sharing.
XO,
Maria.

Oh. My. God. Pure, unadulterated genius. What a wonderful family in their rathole home. I am suitably impressed with your masking and coloring. Bet these rats smell the same winner I do.

Diese Karte ist mal wieder ein absolutes Sahnestück! Das könnte auch ein Kinoplakat sein.
Ich bin total begeistert, obwohl ich Ratten nicht wirklich mag. ;)

Love that torn stamp, perfect home for those rats. Have to say I'm not usually a fan of the furry quadrupeds, they make rather a mess in our hay barn but these are quite fun.
Thanks for linking up at HLS CAS too. :)

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it. And here is a close -up: Challenges: Dynamic Duos CAS Colours and Sketches Addicted to Stamps and More Amusing Challenges Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die. --X-- Card for Maddy: You may know already about  Maddy ,  who  was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fiftee...
