No Cat Ever

 

As soon as I saw these Curly Tailed Cats, I knew they would be the perfect pairing for the Dotted Blooms background stamp from a previous release.  On a white background I stamped the Dotted Blooms with some Catherine Pooler ink in the color Hot Tub, a nice sort of retro color.

Next, I stamped the Curly Tailed Cats with Versafine Clair in the color Nocturne and then tossed some clear embossing powder over the top and heat embossed them. The rest of the process can be seen in the video below!

Cats, cats, cats

 The fun retro cat background here is just so whimsical and fun, you can't help but smile! I stamped the cats on patterned background paper and topped it with the Cats and More Cats stamp. All can be found here:

This adorable patterned paper - from my stash - is a perfect whimsical background for the Better with a Dog stamp! You can find the stamp here:

Let Me See Your Shamrocks!

Hi Junkies! 

Most of us have tons of background stamps.  I love them!  I'm always looking for new ways to use them.  Check out how I used ink cubes to get a multicolored background.  I hope you will give this a try.  It was so much fun to create!

Happy Crafting, 

Chris

Life is Better...

 Hello, 

Life is better with a dog.  I can't imagine not having our puppies (picture below).  So when I saw this stamp, I couldn't wait to use it.  I used my tombow markers to color directly on the stamp, so I could get multiple colors.   I stamped on top of the artistic swipe stamp because I thought it looked like dog slobber.  What do you think?
