CAS Card in Honor of "Queenie" :-)

Hi Again Stampers!!

Here is another quick card that I created using the CASOLOGY #104- Pet and the PPA212 Pals Paper Arts Sketch (love this sketch! :-)) 

As soon as I saw the cue word from CASOLOGY, I knew that I could create a card with a cat stamp that I found at Michael’s years ago in the dollar bin (that until today had not been inked at all :-)).   

Our beloved "Queenie" :-)

We had just adopted two kittens that we destined for the shelter (if they had not found a home) and one of the kittens looked just like the stamp.  Since she was little, she had a "regal" attitude so we nicknamed her “Queenie”.   She loved to wrap her fluffy tail around the face of our older male kitty and then pose in such a pretty manner (trust me, he could not resist her and was in love at first site :-))

To this day, she has a wonderful temperament and queen-like behavior that befits her nickname perfectly!

 Again, I hope you have a chance to visit the above sites to check out the Design Team samples and other entries- both galleries are full of great designs!

 To create this “hybrid” card:

Ink the cat image using Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink and stamp onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock.  Color the image using the Stampin’ Blendabilities™ Old Olive Collection for the eyes, Daffodil Delight Collection for the crown and Stampin’ Write markers for the fur (Crumb Cake and Smoky Slate).

Punch the image out using the 2” Circle Punch and also punch 2” Circles from Sahara Sand and Basic Black cardstock.  Split the Sahara Sand and Basic Black circles in half and mount behind the cat image.

For the crown, paw prints and sentiment, use My Digital Studio and print the images onto Whisper White cardstock. 

 

Color the crown using the Stampin’ Blendabilities™ Daffodil Delight Collection and punch both images out using the 1 3/8” Circle Punch (also punching 1 3/8” Circles from Sahara Sand and Basic Black cardstock, splitting these circles in half and mounting behind the crown and paws images). 

Add a strip of Basic Black cardstock along with ½ of a White Tea Lace Paper Doily (attached at the bottom) to the Sahara Sand background and mount this layer onto a Basic Black card base.

Add the images along the black strip and the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals® to finish off the card.

Stamp Sets: Favorite Thoughts, Artistic Etchings, Patterned Pets (all MDS versions), cat image (non- SU!)

Ink: Memento™ Tuxedo Black, Stampin’ Blendabilities™-  Old Olive and Daffodil Delight Collections,  Stampin’ Write markers- Crumb Cake and Smoky Slate

Thanks again for stopping by- I hope you enoyed this card in honor of our "Queenie" :-)  Have a great Monday and God Bless!

When I Need A Friend- Another Color and Sketch Challenge :-)

Hi Again Stampers! 

I had a great time creating a few cards this weekend and this card was created using the Around the World AW21 Color Challenge along with the Pals Paper Arts PPA212 Sketch Challenge. 

If you have not linked up to the challenge sites yet, I urge you to do so- great inspiration from all!

To create this card:

Stamp the blossom from Choose Happiness using Basic Gray Classic Ink onto Whisper White cardstock.  

Use a Sponge Dauber with Strawberry Slush Classic Ink and “pounce” the ink onto the images, “fussy-cut” the blossoms and sponge a bit of Basic Gray around the outside edges.  Add a few highlights using the Chalk Marker to the flower centers.

Ink the Dictionary background stamp using Basic Gray Classic Ink and stamp onto a piece of Basic Gray cardstock. 

Use the Big Shot™ with the Chevron Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Pool Party cardstock and layer onto the background panel (adhering ½ of a White Tea Lace Paper Doily to the lower edge and a strip of Strawberry Slush cardstock to the upper edge).

Trim the background panel and mount onto a piece of Pool Party cardstock, trim and mount onto a piece of Strawberry Slush cardstock and trim once more mounting onto the Basic Gray card base.

Add the flowers using Stampin’ Dimensionals® to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment using Basic Gray Classic Ink and stamp onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock.  Cut the banner points using the Hexagon Punch and mount onto the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals®. 

Add Pearls to finish off the card.
