Another week is gone, so here comes Katzelkraft!

I decided to make another gift! This is a little booklet, about 10 x 10 cm.
I also created a small card to go with it... to write some nice words in it for the recipient. 

-  please keep in mind that the greens are very dificult to capture, it's not as yellowish as it shows here-

CARD TO GO WITH IT

THE GIFT SET! 


The base is watercolor paper: Spray it with two colors Colorwash, lettuce and denim.
Stamp the collage clock stamp with a similar color green, to just stand out, but being part of the background.
Stamp the pocket watch with a solvent brown ink, and (quickly!) pour some clear embossing powder on; heat set it.
Stamp the same pocketwatch in a blueish color, after you've masked the first stamped image.  Stamp the text with a solvent brown ink also. Stamp the text in a blueish color as well, to get a shadow.
Color the watch with the same blue as you stamped with, and add some additional color with a rust-color watercolorpencil.
Only at this stage I attached the paper to the outside of the booklet, and trimmed the edges. Color the edges with brown solvent ink.
The stamping for the card is the same as for the booklet.
