Cats & Wine...

Greetings Inky Friends!

Another fun card using the

FABULOUS October New Releases!

A card for all the Wine-lovers

on your Christmas card mailing list...

This background was created using alcohol based markers and hand sanitizer. I scribbled blocks of colored onto my craft sheet and then dropped hand sanitizer onto the blocks of color. I then dipped my GLOSSY card stock into the marker/sanitizer picking up color. The first grouping of colors weren't to my liking so I did the next in all shades of red and simply layered it onto the existing piece I didn't like!

This created a nice marbleized look!

This little fella just cracked me up!!

He's the Christmas Carol Kitty and I colored him

using Fun Stampers Journey

Blender Brushes and Fusion Blending Solution

with our True Color Fusion Re-Inkers.

For the background, I used the

Christmas Ornaments Trio from Technique Junkies. 

This card is purr-fect for all the Cat Lover's

on your Christmas Card sending list!

I love that there's always something for everyone over at Technique Junkies! Be sure to check them out!

Until next time...

Happy Creating!

Alcohol Smoosh from Judy Jackson

Have you ever felt that life was speeding by faster than you could keep up? That is how I have felt the past couple of weeks! Every time I thought I was caught up and could say, "Whew! I can relax a bit now." something else for me to do was just around the corner. I was "supposed" to post this on Monday and now it is Friday.

This technique is called Alcohol Smoosh from CD7. The stamps used for the background are from Artistic Outpost. The stamp on the tag is also Artistic Outpost -- and all of these stamps are from the set Birds of a Feather. I bought it this winter at a stamp convention in Florida -- it was unmounted and no identifying info on the back. I forgot which booth I bought it from. Sorry! I dusted the bird and the thistle with Perfect Pearls but the delightful shimmer doesn't show up. I also used a swirl stamp from Stampers Anonymous.

Enjoy the weekend!!
