Katzelkraft Calendar

Katzelkraft Calendar - August

Hi Everyone,

I am back with my weekly Katzelkraft post.

I am having so much fun with my Katzelkraft calendar. I am sure you can tell....

August is dedicated to summer and not only humans like to eat water melon, but the rats and insects love it, too!

Now this big snake sneaked in somehow. It's not from Katzelkraft, but it is an old stamp by Hein Design. Unfortunately no longer produced. I wonder why. Such a great stamp - it actually comes in 3 pieces, the head, tail, a curved piece and a straight one. I did not use the straight one here. Anyhow with that you can make it any size and go in any direction. Pretty clever, right? The ants are by Cats on Appletrees.

I started with the water melon, which I drew and colored with water colors. Cut it out. Sponged the background. I stamped the snake and rats, colored them with Copics and cut them out. The insect is stamped directly onto the background. Added the ants. Added white highlights.

The stamps I used are from the following sets:

Les Rats des Villes - KTZ179, Les Nounounes - KTZ234 (FRANCE)

Katzelkraft City Rats - KTZ179, Bugs and Insects -KTZ234 (USA)

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

Thanks for visiting!

Happy Stamping!

Echt?? So einen coolen Stempel hatte Herr Hein mal kreiert??!! Genial. Schreib ihm doch mal, er hat schon öfters mal alte Stempel wieder ins Programm aufgenommen. Oder er greift den Gedanken auf, ähnliche Stempel zu produzieren.
Jedenfalls habe auch ich wieder mega Spaß an Deinem Kalenderblatt. Die Melone ist Dir super gelungen und die Tierchen passen perfekt dazu. LG Gundi

Siehst Du: selbst die Tiere mögen im heißen Sommer Melone, auch solche, von denen man es nicht erwartet.
Das Kalenderblatt ist toll!!!

So unfassbar tolle knallige Farben, die schreien regelrecht Sommer! Da hat man ja fast selbst den Geschmack der Melone auf der Zunge. Vielen vielen Dank, dass Du sie mit den Nachteulen teilst! Hammer...

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.
