Late for my train

A quick post to show you this make I am entering in the Katzelkraft and Craft Barn challenges. I nearly didn't make it in the case of Katzelkraft, since the theme of "Surprise us" didn't spark any ideas. Finally, I decided to do something I had been meaning to do for a long time, stamping the very detailed train stamp from the Katzelkraft Transportation set in colours. I do hope it's a surprise as these engraving type stamps are usually seen all in black.

The Craft Barn was all about Brushos this week so I used them on this make but in a more controlled manner and effectively, although I didn't brush the colour in, as watercolours.



Un post en vitesse pour vous montrer cette réa pour participer aux challenges Katzelkraft et Craft Barn. J'ai presque manqué Katzelkraft, car le thème "Surprenez nous" m'a laissé perplexe. En fin de compte, j'ai décidé de faire quelque chose que j'avais envie de faire depuis longtemps: utiliser le tampon train du set Katzelkraft Transportation avec des encres de couleur. J'espère que cela étonnera puisque ces images de gravures anciennes sont habituellement tamponnées tout en noir.

Le Craft Barn se concentrait sur les Brushos cette semaine donc je les aie utilisées à nouveau, mais d'une façon plus retenue et en fait comme de l'aquarelle, même si je ne les ai pas appliquées au  pinceau.

Merci de votre visite,
Thanks for coming by,
