Katzelkraft - Checkmate

Hi Everyone,

I am back with my weekly Katzelkraft post.

For this weeks card I wasn't that happy with my first card, so I made a second one with the same stamps, just slightly different layout and different colors. I wonder, which one of them you like better?

Did my usual masking and sponging and colored the figures with water colors.

Trimmed the side and added a strip of designer paper.

Different color scheme - stayed more in the same color family. Looking at both of them I actually can't really decide which one I like better and why I wasn't so happy with my first try....

The stamps I used are from the following sets:

Le Gambit du Roi- KTZ279, Les Quilles - KTZ233 (FRANCE)

The King's Gambit - KTZ279, Les Quilles- KTZ233 (USA)

Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration.

Thanks for visiting!

Happy Stamping!

I think they're both great, perhaps, the second color scheme makes me a bit more pleased.

Katzelkraft - Stampotique Raven

Hi Everyone, Do you know that Katzelkraft has aquired Stampotique stamps? This fun raven is designed by Daniel Torrente (#6314). I used an old background from my stashs. I stamped the bird and colored it with alcohol ink markers. I brushed distrss ink onto the background and added some pattern with the Mandala Magic stencil from Funky Fossil Designs.I used one of the border stamps on the left for more interest. Stamped the sentiment and doodled a frame around the sentiment.Added a googly eye to the bird and drew in some eye lashes. The stamps I used are from the following sets: Spiral Borders - KTZ286, Whatchamacallit - KTZ276 (FRANCE) Spiral Borders - KTZ286 , Whatchamacallit - KTZ276 (USA) Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration. Thanks for visiting! Happy Stamping! Linking up with: Simon Says Wednesday challenge - fur or feathers
