Katzelkraft Calendar - January

      Hi Everyone, I am back with my weekly Katzelkraft post. I am creating a calendar with my beloved Katzelkraft stamps. I am so happy with my first page. Looking forward to the next 11 months! I first stamped the branches and the trees, doing some generational stamping and spritzed the second and third impressions with water before I stamped to get those fluid colors and impressions. I did a bit of light sponging (distress inks) to add some background color. I colored and fuzzy cut the little guy and added him to my scene. Stamped the birds and added the sentiment as well as the little calendar. In the end I also added white accents to the trees and a bit of "snow" to the ground - to make it more wintery. The stamps I used are from the following sets: Winter Wonderland  - KTZ280,  Les Pabos 1 - KTZ211,  Bords de Mer - KTZ256, Branches - Solo099  ( FRANCE)  Winter Wonderland - KTZ280,  Les Pabos  1 - KTZ211, Sea Side - KTZ...

Topflight Stamps - More Tags with Crafty Individuals

    Hi Everyone, It's  Topflight Stamps   day!  This week we are showcasing stamps by  Crafty Individuals , a wonderful British company, that produces detailed red rubber stamps. I used this stamp before - its called  Dawn Serenity  (you can see it HERE ) but this time I made some tags. I brushed distress oxide inks onto the tags in an ombre pattern. Waited until it dried and then stamped the bird on it. Used my Misti for it, to keep it all the same. I lightly colored the tree stump and the bird beak and legs. Stamped the sentiment. I decided to add on a thin strip of gold Washi tape from my stash at the bottom, so I ran it again through my Big Shot with the tag die. added some string with gold thread in it. I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.  See you next week with more  Topflight Stamps  inspiration.
