I am back with a whole bunch of cards to share with you! I, like most of you, am stuck in the house and decided I'd play only with the items I had in my craft room at the moment (I still have a great deal in storage). While flipping through all my half finished cards, lots of already colored bits and bobs and die sets this is the bunch I came up with. I love snarky sentiments and I had so much fun pairing the animals with the sayings.
I remember when Tim's Crazy Birds were all the rage and when I got my set I stamped and colored like crazy! I ended up with a huge surplus of crazy cats, birds and dogs. I have six cards to share with you so to simplify things I compiled a basic list of items used in making this set. All of the cards are sized A2 (5 1/2" x 4 1/4"), every bird or cat was colored and cut prior to making the card using either Zig Clean Color Markers or Prismacolor Pencils and sometimes both mediums were used. All of the accent dies are the ones I had on hand from MFT Die-Namics, Sizzix, Spellbinders, Mama Elephant and other manufacturers. The sentiments are from Riley & Company Funny Bones and were stamped with Gina K amalgam ink in obsidian. Last but not least every card used either Bird Crazy stamps and dies or Crazy Cats stamps and dies. If you have any questions about the specific items I've used please feel free to contact me. Now here we go!
Sentiment #RWD-399 {Unfortunately this stamp is discontinued}
Sentiment #RWD-441
Background Paper from Lawn Fawn Watercolor Wishes Petite Pack, #LF1355
Sentiment #RWD-535
Sentiment #RWD-530
Kraft Card Base
I think I tarted up the cat to use on a Halloween card
Sentiment #RWD-578
I hope you got a giggle while reading these, I can relate to every single one! I have only used a small fraction of the precolored animals I have but my muse was going crazy and I had to get creating some other cards, too. I can't choose a favorite; one second I like this one, then the next I like that one - do you have a favorite one, or maybe one that speaks to you? Please leave me a comment - I'd love to know what you think! Let me say after taking almost a year off I feel so good to be crafting again and I hope you enjoyed my post! Plus, after this past week I needed to laugh! Hugs, Christi
