Too Cool for Cats!

I make cards that raise money for the Cat's Protection League and so today I took advantage of the great weather and made these little notecards in the garden - they are about 4 x 4 inches and using a technique shown by Joanne Wardle in Craft Stamper Magazine.

The stamps are a combination of Inkadinkado, Judi Kins and Hunkydory. Ink pads are by Tim Holtz.

Naturally, Millie insisted that I tell you she supervised the process whilst sunning herself in the garden.....

Recycle!

Hi everyone! The theme this week at Sweet Pea Stampers is "Recycle". So what I did was take some shiney silver foil wrapping paper that one of my birthday presents was wrapped in - emboss it through the cuttlebug and use some alcohol ink on the top to give it even more depth to match the main focal image.


And here is the foil wrapping paper before I cut it up.

Don't forget to join in at Sweet Pea Stampers for a chance to win a prize.
