Cat Lovers Hop (2)

 



Hi everyone.
I am back with my second entry for the 2020 Cat Lovers Hop
I used some co-ordinating papers from one of my 6x6 pads, and also another of the Tim Holtz cats, which I stamped, cut out, and coloured. I also used a balloon from another set and tied to his tail
The message was stamped in black and heat embossed
The 3 diamante's were coloured with a black OHP marker and added to the orange strip

Cat Lovers hop (1)

 

Hi everyone, I have been missing in action for a wee while, as we have been away in our motorhome

This is the card that I made for my youngest son's birthday, as you can see he was turning the big 50!
I cut out the design on my Cameo and added a black dog and a tabby cat, to represent the pets the family has. Both are stamps by Tim Holtz
I am entering the challenge for the Cat Lovers Hop
Lost Coast #109 - furry friends

Thanks for visiting

Festive

 


Hello, and thank you for visiting my blog today

I was inspired to make this card after seeing a post by Kath Stewart, so this is my interpretation, as I do not have the new cat stamps (I wish)
I started by making masks for the moon and snow from some scrap paper. I used 'black soot' and 'fossilized amber' distress inks to make the sky, and spritzed to make the colours run a little. After drying I used a very old Penny Black stamp (2001 - snowflake border) to stamp the snowflakes and embossed with detail white EP
I coloured my crazy bird with the following Promarkers
R766,  V546,  V528,  M419,  Y247
The sentiments are from a Clearly Besotted set called 'Rockin Robin'
I added a little 'hickory smoke' DOX to define the edge of the snow and a ground for the bird.

Cute Christmas snowman!

 


Hello all

A last minute entry for the Allsorts challenge of 'cute Christmas'
I attached some dp of Christmas trees to a dark green card base, diecut my snowman from some white card, and glued him to the left side. I coloured the little bird with a red Promarker and attached the red coloured peeloff to a scrap of white card.
An effective quick and easy card to add to my Christmas box

Playing with paper

 


I cased this card from one I saw somewhere on the internet, but did not take note of the designer, sorry
For the background, I used a piece of old sheet music and sponged with DI and layered onto my black card base
Using a torn scrap of cream card, I diecut the design and also coloured with DI
I arranged the fabric leaves and flower onto a wreath and attached with glue dots
