CLBH Birthday Whiskers {DAY 4}

 I have been fortunate enough to be able to subscribe to the Hero Arts Kit of the Month club once again and this card was born from the June 2021 kit.  I made it so I could use it for the Cat Lovers Blog Hop, something a little brighter than all the Halloween makes! 

I started the card, as always, by stamping, coloring and cutting out the cat and the balloons.  I used the Gina K ink pad and Zig Clean Color Markers to stamp & color.  I got the background paper free from a Lawn Fawn order and I felt it matched with the happy vibe of the card so I trimmed it down to size used it to cover the white card. The sentiment was stamped on white card and die cut using the fishtailed banner.  A small bit of gel pen was used to color the dots on the birthday hat, and everything was glued onto the card.

Thanks for stopping by & stay turned for more Cat Lovers Blog Hop cards! Til next time, Christi

CLBH Happy Meowlloween! {DAY 3}

 This card has my favorite things on it - cats & Halloween!! Unfortunately, the cats are discontinued, old sets from Mama Elephant but you can find them if you look.  I've been looking for them since I saw them and I finally lucked out as someone was selling both sets of stamps and dies. 

I started this card by stamping, coloring {using Zig Clean Color Brush Markers and a silver gel pen} and cutting out the cats, bats and spiders; stamped with my usual Gina K Amalgam Ink Pad in Obsidian on watercolor paper {I use this}.  I used both the Happy Meowlloween set and the Happy Meowlloween Extras set.  The die that I think looks like wrought iron is from Spellbinders from a Die of the Month kit; I cut that out of dark shimmer grey.  I stamped the sentiment directly onto the card, which was a mistake as the light grey card is textured and it took quite a few stamps to get it all filled in, but it finally did work as you can see.  I finished the card off with some Picket Fence gems from the Reflections mix.  I'm pleased with the outcome of the card and I am thrilled I scored these stamp sets.  I hope you like the card too! I am happily entering this card into the Cat Lovers Blog Hop - it's a fantastic hop, going on it's 7th year and the prizes are awesome if you are a cat lover like me!
