Rustic ATB for Katzelkraft

It's time for a new challenge with Katzelkraft and this time around the theme is CHRISTMAS.

I decided to create an ATB using Eileen Hull's fabulous Block/Cube die which I have decorated using Katzelkraft's Geometric Ornament stamp.

The ATB itself is cut from mountboard and I have then added kraft card to each side. Two of the sides I have stamped with the Geometric Ornament using Potting Soil Archival Ink and then added white highlights with a white pen. I have also added stencilled stars in the background using Adirondack Snowcap Ink.

The top has been decorated with Tim Holtz Prancing Deer die, adding several layers together so that the deer stands proudly on the top. I have coloured the deer with Distress Inks and added background stamping to its body using the Geometric Bauble stamp and Snowcap Ink. For definition I have also added touches of Black Soot Distress Ink around the edges.

I love how the touches of white make the bauble pop against the kraft backdrop. I have also included Chitchat stickers and die cut a mini tab to add to the top edge stamped with 25 and Winter text.

On the opposite sides I have white embossed the Geometric Bauble and added highlights with a brown pitt pen. I have added stencilled stars to the background using Gathered Twigs Distress Ink. I die cut a mini tag, added shading to the tag with Distress Ink and added a Chitchat sticker to the top for added interest along with natural twine.

I have added Snow-Tex to the top of the box embedding mini pine cones into the snow along with a min tab. I have also included some stencilled stars to the background.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Tracy x x
