Birthday Kitty @ Muse

Hello. It is my week as the Muse at the Muse Card Club.

Today’s card is a simple one with some Copic colouring of a very cute image. It’s a bit hard to tell but the main image is popped up for some dimension. I love cats…I find them so relaxing.

And before I go,  I’ll leave you with some pictures of my beloved kitty cat – Mack. He is a stylish kitty if I do say so myself, but I am biased 🙂

Tag You’re It Challenge #12

It’s time for another Tag You’re It! Challenge.  This week’s inspiration tag is made by the lovely Tracey McNeely.

TYIC_12

I kept my tag simple with white heat embossing on red card stock, but added extra detail with some sparkle. The ‘Merry’ sentiment was coloured with a dark red Copic marker and then some clear Wink of Stella brush glitter pen was added over the top. You can see a tiny bit of sparkle in the photo.

Merry Christmas – Jane’s Doodles

Jane's Doodle Banner

Can you believe it is less than a month until Christmas? Well today I have a new card up on the Jane’s Doodles blog that will hopefully get you thinking about Christmas, if you haven’t already.
I did a little stamp modifying…the snowman does not have a hat in the set, but with a little masking (like Jane showed in a tutorial here), I gave him one. This card has lots of sparkle and glitter and was fun to make.

Tag You’re It Challenge #10

It’s time for another Tag You’re It! Challenge. We had an amazing 44 entries last challenge. You guys rock!

This week we have a very sweet card made by Lynn Put. I just love that gorgeous cluster of pretty flowers!

TYIC_10

I fell in love with the softness of her colour scheme and I used her layout, just changed the placement of the sentiment. I switched up the flowers for a butterfly and some vellum leaves. The pink chevrons are embossing paste (coloured with some dye ink).
