Dry Embossed Holly Jolly Christmas Card

 Hi Everyone,

working on increasing my Christmas card pile..... I am playing along with the 52 CCT challenge. The theme is dry embossing. 

I took an embossing folder (Mundart Stempel) and Kraft paper. Took some gold gilding polish and gave everything a gold shimmer. Wasn't happy with the outcome and took my brayer and brayered green ink onto one side of the embossing folder and ran it through my Big Shot again (you will have to line it up correctly). I liked that better. Took the tired angel from the Katzelkraft Pabos series, stamped and colored him and cut him out. Die cut my favorite Santa (Dixi Craft) in black. Heat embossed the sentiment and added it with foam tape.
Lastly I added Stickles to the halo, the wings and the bottom of the dress.

I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting. 
Happy Stamping!

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
