Cat Lovers Hop Day 3

 

Welcome to day 3 of the Cat Lovers hop

Today's card uses some more cat silhouettes cut on my Cameo. I have them sitting on a wall, which is actually a piece of wallpaper sample! I stamped the message from my Woodware stamp set onto a scrap of black card and embossed in detail white EP

BYSH Cardmakers Day5

 


My second post for today.
I am still making Christmas cards for the BYSHC blog hop, so that is filling my box nicely. 
It is such a great incentive!
Today's card was made with a background of distress inks applied direct to the textured card with a wet wipe. My snowman is a precut one and I coloured the patterned piece from the back so it would show better. I then added a couple of peeloffs from the 'mountain'

Challenges
Jingle Bells - I hope snowmen are creatures!

Cat Lovers hop day 2

 


Hello and welcome

It is day 2 of the wonderful cat lovers hop and this is my entry

I printed the digi stamp and coloured with copics, then fussy cut and adhered to a stitched circle

The message was from a dp pad, I thought it went so well with the cat!

BYSHC day2


 My card for BYSHC day 2. Mostly made from Christmas papers and some tiny white
 snowflakes added



Christmas robins

 


Welcome back
Today's card uses a technique that I was reminded of recently, using a paper napkin
I cut the birds from another piece and layered them with mounting tape for dimension. I then matted with gold card and adhered to a white card base. Quite pleased with the result. 
This is for my husbands elderly relative who is in a care home

Winter Illusion

 


Hello and welcome to a windy Friday. It is a good day to be inside playing in the craft room
After seeing Dawn's card using winter illusion EP, it reminded me that I had some as well. It has such a pretty effect in the light. With this photo I tried to capture both the pink and the turquoise
I first embossed my black card using a Craft Concept EF and then applied Versamark to the flat area. Added the EP and heat set. The sentiment is cut from white card using my Cameo Silhouette.
I diecut the rectangle and adhered to a white card base

Hedgehog Joy

 

Hello and Welcome

Today's card features a very old Penny Black stamp called Hedgehog Joy, I am not sure if it is still available
I have coloured with my copics and punched out a number of leaves from a multi-coloured DP, which I then adhered over the flowers
The background was an experiment in using up the ink inside gel pens which would no longer write, and then some dried marigold DI sponged over in places. I was quite pleased how this turned out.
I used letter peeloffs to make the word 'happy' because this is what the hedgie feels playing in the autumn leaves!
Challenges

Welcome back
 I have used this crazy bird again for this card, but this time coloured him in Copic R17  lipstick orange (which is really a red) and Promarker Y337 tulip yellow.
I have followed the MFT sketch for this week and cut my circles with my cuttlebug. This is a good way of using small scraps

Is this your cat?

 


Hi all

This cat looks just like one that used to own us years ago, his name was Tiger!

I sized the image a little smaller and printed on a scrap of white card. After the edges were torn and distressed, I used DI 'rusty hinge' to sponge the edges.His chain necklace was highlighted with gold paint, dimensional magic on the goggles, a small key, a piece of an old clock, and a word added.

Rudolph Days

 

 Hi, I am back again with a very simple Christmas card

I attached a piece of Bo Bunny DP to the top section of the card and then overlaid with a die cut piece from a scrap of white. The die is from Stamplorations called stitched winter landscape. I trimmed off the house and one set of trees and moved the set of 3 trees to the right. I added a silver peeloff to finish
