What's New Pussy Cat

Could not resist posting two entries for Sunday Stampers 'What's New Pussy Cat' challenge this week. The first are using stamps from Caroline's Rubber Stamps, stamped (to make a scene, background coloured with direct to board inks) onto stampboard then covered with clear embossing powder, left rough to show the bubbles. I mounted it onto blue card over a piece of blue ribbon on a lighter blue card. For the second card I stamped the pawprints to make the background, used the crackle stamp from Cornish Heritage farms masking over the cat stamp to get the window effect. A blue ribbon and a couple of photo corners added for effect. This Blue cat with the green eyes looks exactly like our late cat Blue and oh how we miss her.

Circular Feathered Silhouette

I have covered three challenges with this one tonight, Wednesday Stamper asked for 'Silhouettes', DCM 'Circles' and TGIF 'Feathers'. The large and red circles were cut using my new Xcut circle cutter (yipee it works so well) then run through the Divine Swirl Embossing Folder. The silver circle is a die cut again Cuttlebugged and for the small circle I used a small circle punch again Cuttlebugged. I stamped the silhouette branches and the fairy from Caroline's Silhouette set then added Sakura silver glaze pen to the wings, leaves and the bottom of the circle. I added the red feather and edged with a Pentouch silver pen.
