Katzelkraft Twofer

Hi Everyone,
It's time to play along with the Twofer challenge!


I did not want to wait until the last minute again...


As you see, the requirement is pets. Birds can be pets - I had lots of them at some point in my life. Thankfully no more....
The Katzelkraft set is used is called Les Piafs.
 So I settled on making a Fathers Day card - its coming up, as you know. And this bird looks quite dapper with his hat and tie (from  Impression Obsession). I colored him with Inktense pencils,



The branch is by Memory Box and the sentiment is Studio 112.



The second card I stamped and masked and colored with Inktense pencils. The sentiment is by STAMPlorations -pulled out my sewing machine for it. As you can see I also drew some inspiration from Kara - her DT cards are just amazing!

If you feel the urge to buy any Katzelkraft products, you can also order them in the US from those companies: Topflight Stamps, Frantic Stamper or Lost Coast Designs

Can I just say WOW!!!. Think you won the Twofer Challenge with this pair even if you had to pull out your sewing machine to do it. Can't tell you how crazy I am about both of these amazing cards. Brilliant mind of yours to dress up that cardinal for Father's Day.

What a terrific Father's Day card! Love all the white space on this card, and your combination of wonderful bird image, especially with that jaunty looking hat and sentiment. Terrific! Those Inktense pencils are so vivid. Love the second card for your Two'fer challenge just as much. Awesome cards! Thanks so much for sharing with us at this week's Masculine "Anything Goes" challenge at Watercooler Wednesday.

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...
