      Hi Everyone, It's  Topflight Stamps   day!  This week we are featuring stamps by Carabelle Studio .   I have a thing for fish, so I couldn't resist this awesome stamp set. It's linked below.

Added a little white accent to the drops with a white pen. Added the fish and the sentiment. Lastly  I added a few clear dew drops to some of the water drops.

If you follow me on Instagram you will have seen the first two cards already. Day 1 set:  ​ Garden Days . I masked a strip and sponged with distress oxide inks in rainbow colors. Stamped and lightly colored the images tone on tone. Day 2 set:  ​ ​ Nordic Noel, Merry & Bright papers , washi and dots. I used one of the Washi tapes, an older stencil ( Elegant Tree ) and a sentiment from an older set called Festive Phrases . Added some Stickles for some glitz.

  Hi Everyone, I am playing with my  Funky Fossil Designs  stamps.  I used this set called  " ​ Geo Bugs "  as I needed a buggy birthday card.... I used a page from an old dictionary and gessoed it. Stamped the bugs and colored them with water brush pens and markers. Die cut the sentiment and added it to the card. Drew some subtle  shadows with pencil under the bugs to make them stand out a bit.

       Hi Everyone, It's  Topflight Stamps   day!  This week it's anything goes, so I decided to use this beautiful stamp from Crafty Individuals  and turn it into a Christmas card.  I sponged the background with distress oxide inks, using blender brushes. Stamped the stamp and did some light coloring of the bird and wood post, staying mainly monochromatic. I cut out the stamped image with a square die and mounted it onto white card stock. Stamped the sentiment. Trimmed the cardstock and mounted it onto a dark blue card base. I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.  See you next week with more  Topflight Stamps  inspiration.

   Hi Everyone, I am back with my weekly Katzelkraft post. Today its going to be racoons - yes, racoons. I discovered, that you can easily turn those cute foxes into not so cute racoons, LOL! That way you get more out of your stamps, right?! I stamped the garbage can on a piece of scrap paper, colored it with Copics and cut it out. Cut off the lid. Stamped the back part of the fox upside down, so it fit into the can. I masked the fox a little bit and stamped the other fox. I colored them with Inktense pencils and gave them the racoon coat. Glued on the garbage can. Added the sentiment. Trimmed the card. Added a strip of paper to the side and an enamel dot at the bottom. The stamp I used is from the following sets: Les Lapins  - KTZ271,  Garbage can  - SOLO107,  Relax sentiments  - KTZ222  ( FRANCE) Foxes  - KTZ270, Garbage can - SOLO107, Relax sentiments - KTZ222   (USA) Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration.  Thanks for visiting!
