Katzelkraft Under Water

Hi Everyone, as you all know, Wednesday is Katzelkraft day on my blog. Except that today  is Tuesday, I know.... moved my post up a day to not have two posts tomorrow.....

Topflight Stamps - Great Day with PaperArtsy

Hi Everyone, It's Topflight Stamps day! We are showcasing PaperArtsy this week. Of course I had to go with the  Elena Zinski stamps . Those rabbits are new and while Easter is gone they still can be used for other purposes ;) They are just so cute and quirky!  I made a smooshed background with distress oxide inks. I stacked up the rabbits and colored them with markers. For the white areas I went over with bleach, that gets totally rid of all the colors. Saves you the masking....I added some stenciled shapes for more interest, staying within my color scheme. Stamped the sentiment. Trimmed the card stock and added Washi tape on the side.
