Katzelkraft - Smile when it's Raining

Hi Everyone,

I am back with my weekly Katzelkraft post. I got inspired by Sandy Allnock for my card design.

I stamped the umbrella first. I masked off the space under the umbrella and sponged around it with distress oxide inks. I stamped the rain (Impression Obsession) twice - once with and once without the mask. I colored the meerkats and fuzzy cut them. Sponged the masked off area and directly applied inks to the bottom to create some ground. Added some water splatters. Added the meerkats. Trimmed off the card and mounted it on a white card base.

The stamps I used are from the following sets:

Les Suricates - KTZ 216, Smile when its Raining - Solo158 (FRANCE)

Meerkats - KTZ216, Smile when its Raining - Solo158 (USA)

Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration. In the meantime I wish you a Happy New Year and all the best for 2021!

Easter Egg and Bunny

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.
