Rudolph Day February

I originally made this card with the intention of entering it into both Rudolph Day and Cas Christmas challenge. But then found when I went to post it that I was too late, and I'm nearly too late for Rudolph as well. This short month has really caught me out!

 I love this Little Claire Designs stamp, sadly they are no longer trading. It makes such perfect cas cards. I'm also going to share at Addicted to Cas, where the theme is Animals.

Perfectly Cas - Animals

It's the middle of May and time for a new challenge at Perfectly CAS, where we challenge you to create a cas card using only one third of your card.

 

This month we want to see animals on your card. I found an ols Woodware stamp set to use as I'm rather fond of this cat! I said it was old didn't I? Well so old that the back paw and tail split off from the rest of the stamp! Fortunately it was a clean break so I managed to stamp it without the break showing.

He's coloured with Copics. I've kept the stamp as it is useable and there are others in the set that I still haven't used.  Do check in at the challenge blog to see what other animals have been used.

Birthday Cat

Hello and welcome to a new challenge at Happy Little Stampers. It's the start of the month so time for the watercolour challenge.

 

I have had this cat's face stamp from Visible Image for ages and not used it, so now was the time. I actually made this card for my step-daughter's 40th birthday in October. She's cat mad, although hers are black and white not ginger!

I started off with a Brusho background using brown. The face was stamped in black and clear heat embossed. The eyes and nose were coloured with brushoes as well. I mounted it onto black and then copper mirri card. The inside had the big 40 number rather than the outside. Didn't want to spoil the cat's face!

What animals have the rest of the team used, if any?

A Furry Friend!

It's time for a new challenge at Cardz for Galz. The theme is "Furry Friends"  I have made a fairly simple card. I found the 6x6 paper while i was looking for something suitable to use and rather liked the way it provided a frame.

The stamp is from a Kanban set bought a long time ago from QVC!. I thought the car looked a little haughty which is why I used this particular sentiment, which carries on  inside the card.

Do check out what the rest of the  DT have made.

 

Black and White Cat

The challenge at Twofers has arisen from the ashes as Always Use Rubber . Their first challenge is "It's Not All Black and White" with a photo inspiration.



Well having a black and white cat I had to use that photo as mine. I had recently acquired this Inkylicious stamp called Toby which was perfect. But I have renamed it Cleo after my cat!

I must say it stamped beautifully! I often find that solid stamps give a less than perfect coverage but this one really was perfect. I'm also entering this into Use Your Stuff who are asking for Orange, Black and Neutral.

Casology - Mini and LIM 213

I'm just squeezing in at the last minute to Casology where the theme is Mini. On Friday I went to the Make-It Show at Farnborough and amongst the goodies I brought home were three dinkie stamps from Little Claire, even better they were free with some paper stacks I bought! So here is a mini card - it only measures 10.5cm x 10.5 cms with a mini stamp!

I am also entering this to Less Is More where the ladies want us to make a card depicting something that makes us happy. Well my two cats do! I am also going to pay another visit to the Playground as its such a nice spring day here!

Make My Monday - Black and White With a Hint of Red.

The challenge at Make My Monday this week is to use Black and White with a hint of red.

 

 I knew I had this piece of black and white paper left over from a kit I had a couple of years ago so used that as my starting point. The stamp is a NBUS one from Clarity Stamps. Although it doesn't show up in the photo his little blanket and the trim on his hat are flocked with a hint of glitter as well. Think it might have a touch too much red on it though, but it didn't look right without the mats.

So here's another one I made 

The cat dies are from All Occasions. The words were done on the Silhouette then coloured in. As the red and the black for the little cats were snippets I can head over to the Playground to see what's going on over there!
