KITTY KARD

Good morning,
I have popped in with a recent commission card on which I have used one of my new cat stamps. I treated myself to some in the sales just after Christmas, so I am hoping to use them all to show you over the next week or so :-)

This one uses some kitty papers - I bought them from someone selling their stash but I don't actually know who makes them.

I cut an oval and used a text paper from the same set underneath.

I stamped the kitties on to cream card and coloured them with Prismacolour pencils. I used am embossing folder for the sentiment band.

These are JGS386 Mr & Mrs Cat from WoodWare - clear magic singles collection, and I used one of the sentiments that came with the set, stamped onto a filigree heart from the Wooly Bears - Isobel set I bought from Kanban. 

I used the little bears for the first time on this card that I made for my friend's Birthday..

I stamped the bears onto some textured card for effect and coloured them with Prismacolour pencils. Then I stamped their clothes and bows onto some snippets of card from my stash box and stuck them flat onto the bears. I used another snippet and a decorative punch for the border for them to sit on. :-)

My kitty card is my display piece for my new Show Us Your Pussies - Cats Challenges with starts today over HERE. This month it's all about Kitty Love especially for Valentine's Day. 

The new Challenge is also up over at IKEsWORLD CHALLENGES - which is also Valentine's themed. Click HERE to go see that one.

CAT LOVERS' BLOG HOP - DAY 2

Hello Peeps and welcome to the Cat Lovers' Blog Hop DAY 2 :-D 

This is leading up to October 29th - National Cat Day     YaY !!! 
There were some fabulous kitty creations yesterday on Day 1 and I will be hopping around to comment a bit later :-)

Here is my contribution for Day 2...

The kitties are from SPYDER and were coloured with Promarkers or Prismacolour pencils and the Poem is by John Keats - "To a Cat".

The stamping was done with one of those cube stamps with different designs on each side from StampCraft and I have had it for years :-) I used the fish bones and the pawprints.

I hope you will come along to HER PEACEFUL GARDEN and have a look at the Hop and maybe even play along if you LUV cats too :-D xxxxx

The blog hop starts today and runs until Friday, October 30. Janis has lined up some fabulous prizes, so you will want to head over to her blog for all the details! Guidelines and FAQ can be found here.

Cat Lovers' Blog Hop - DAY 2

OH, BUT IF THAT WERE TRUE .... :-D

Hi Peeps,
I found this FREEBIE quote page on MEINLILAPARK. It's her new one from last week on her CAT BLOG. and I had to use it  because it made me laugh :-D If only this were true, I would be swanking my way down a catwalk in Fashion Week somewhere  bwaahahahahaha :-D


I used it with my new STAMPENDOUS brand new stamp - "Feline Curious".
I coloured the kitty using Prismacolour pencils and touches of Promarkers, but I smudged the bloomin' stamp whilst blending my pencils with the white spirit !!!. I had gone too far to start again, so there it is !!!
I printed the background twice and then cut out the quote and raised it on foamies. I fussy cut the kitty and put him on foamies too.

I just LUV gingers, so of course, he had to be a ginger :-D  I think he would fit as being in Autumn colours - don't you ??!

Thanks for dropping in. :-) xx

SUMMER FUN

I am hiding down in my craft basement because it's just too darn hot outside today. It made me think of being youngsters again - when we didn't seem to feel the heat so much. I was always out in every ray of sunshine cooking my tan LoL So, here I am with my little summer ATC. 

I used my De-Stempelwinkel stamps and also a little beach set with starfish which was a freebie from SCRIBBLES BY SANDY. The background paper is from Carena.

I distressed the edges and then added some Starfish Promarker around it. The main images were coloured with Promarkers and Prismacolour Pencils.

SMUDGY ANTICS - REPTILE RAMPAGE

Welcome back for another challenge with Smudgy Antics. First we must congratulate last week's winner........... Donna, with her Time Stands Still creation... Awesome xx

The challenge theme this week is "REPTILE RAMPAGE".

  

Reptile: 1.) Any various cold-blooded, usually egg-laying vertebrates of the class Reptilia (think snake, lizard, crocodile, turtle, dinosaur, or dragon).

Reptile:  2.) A person being regarded as despicable or treacherous.

Rampage:  Violent or excited behavior that is reckless, uncontrolled, or destructive.

We are asking you to incorporate the spirit of a reptile rampage into your project for the week.  There are several directions you can take this prompt.  You can use an image of a reptile or you can use papers or textures that resemble a reptile's skin, or in the case of a turtle, its shell.  You can throw caution to the wind and get reckless in the creation of your project by ripping, tearing, and distressing a project almost to the point of destruction while still maintaining an awesome piece.  This theme would be great for art journal pages too.  Show us, through your art, a time where you may have been reckless or on a rampage.  Too much?  How about doing a journal piece or ATC about someone or something you regard as despicable or treacherous?  If it is NOT EVIDENT as to how you used the challenge theme REPTILE RAMPAGE in your project, please explain it in your blog post.

This week I used one of the new digis I have drawn for SMEARED INK - "Snake Woman"

I put her on some snakeskin backing paper and made a couple of clay snakes for a frame.

I coloured her with my new Prismacolour pencils with some Copic highlights :-)

It would be great to see you come play with us this week and take a look at the scaly creations my Smudgy Sisters have to show you :-)
