How Much is That Kitty in the Window?

 Hello and welcome back! Here's another card for today:

My main inspiration for this card was the upper left hand photo at Just Add Ink. Sometimes you just have to create a literal translation! I also used the sketch at Paper Craft Crew and the color challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments.

I pulled a lot of products from my stash to create this card. Except for the cardstock and coloring tools, nothing is current!

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!

Card of the Day - Sitting Here

 Hello and welcome back! Sometimes I need to make cards that don't seem to fit any of the open challenges. That's what I've got today.

I've got a couple of anniversaries coming up for friends who have family members of the feline persuasion! I made the cards with different cats to match the individual couples.

The swing and flower pot were stamped directly onto the Whisper White layer and colored with Stampin' Blends, while the pillows and cats were fussy cut and added with dimensionals. After the first stamping I used a Blending Brush to add a little bit of Balmy Blue to create a sky over the swing. The sentiment was stamped onto a strip of Calypso Coral and cut in two before adhering to the card front.

And here's the other cat. 😺

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!
