Kit-Tea-Cat

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a quick, clean and simple, one layer card I made.  After a frustrating day with doctor's trying to figure out what's going on with me, I needed a quick and easy card to try and take my mind off of my health issues.

I started out by stamping the image, and saying, from the Newton's Nook Designs set called Newton's Mug, I bought last year and hadn't used yet.  After stamping the image/saying in memento tuxedo black ink, I colored it using my Castle Arts pencils before blending a couple of retired Stampin Up inks, summer sun and yo-yo yellow.  The only embellishment added are some white sequins I found in my stash.

Woodblock Wednesday

 

 

 

Hello and welcome.  Today is another Woodblock Wednesday challenge.  I'm loving these fun monthly challenges because it's forcing me to pull out those wood stamps and actually use them instead of collecting them.  

I've had this Garfield© stamp for, what seems like, ages.  I found it at my local Michael's but the saying I found in an online store years ago. The card uses the coffee bean trio from a retired Stampin Up Espress Yourself set.

 

I started out by stamping Garfield, and the saying, in memento tuxedo black on some scrap white card stock before coloring using Castle Arts pencils.  Once my image panel was layered, I added some faux brads since I didn't have any matching ones so I just made my own.  My card is stamped in Tim Holtz broken china distress ink before stippling the edges in the same ink.  Once my card was finished, I added my layered image panel before adding some prima flowers with ice stickles centers and some blue fiber around the edge.  I'm happy with how this turned out considering I've been dealing with migraines and some health challenges lately.

Have A Furry Christmas

Hello and welcome.  Happy Caturday to you.  Well, I've had enough excitement to last a while already.  I had to call EMS out to help me get my husband out of diabetic shock.  Blood sugars were way too low.  It took a while, even with their help, to get his blood sugars up again.  My husband, of course, refused to go to theSo now, I'd like to share a quick, cute little card I made using scrap card stock and a couple of embellishments and this cute Furry Christmas set from Simon Says Stamp that I won.

I started out by stamping the dogs/cat in memento tuxedo black ink onto a Hammermill white scrap before coloring using both prismacolor and copic markers.  I then highlighted parts of the image using Castle Art glitter gel pens before layering and adding some faux brads before setting aside.  My card is made using a long red scrap from a previous project with a paw print background I made using a retired Stampin Up paw tracks wheel and Tim Holtz fired brick distress ink.  After I stippled the ink around the edges of the card, I added my image panel.  I then stamped the saying on another white scrap before going over the saying in a black gel pen then fussy cutting out before popping up using pop dots.  After adding a small silver bow, my card was finished.
