Hello everyone.... I hope that you are all enjoyed the weekend and have some lovely plans for the week ahead. We're expecting the temperature to plummet this week so I'm hoping that will mean lots more crafty time for me ๐ค and maybe a little cooking, some warming soups and comfort food I think
It's Monday so that means I'm on my blog today with my DT inspiration card made for Last Minute Manda
My card today is using the Purrfect Valentine digital stamp set
I always thought I was definitely a dog person, we had a Boarder Collie called Susie when I was younger and then a Labrador called Harvey.The plan when we moved here was to have rescue dogs - we even bought a dog guard for the first car we bought her. But when we moved over here permanently from the U.K. we were very quickly adopted by an extended family of cats.
We've currently got 4 permanent ones ( Tabby, Shadow, Bramble and Foxy) that spend time during the day in the house, then we have 2 permanent ones that live outside ( Dora and Mr Ed) and currently another male that is trying to move in.....he's now being called Brian !
We laugh sometimes that there must be a sign up somewhere telling the local cats where to go if they need food, medicines or somewhere to stay and be looked after !!
Anyway, I have a simple sweet landscape card for you today. I started by printing some digital paper and then coloured the image to co-ordinate with the papers using my Promarkers (see below for colours)
I've die cut a heart in vellum and then used a floral embossing folder to give the vellum detail. The heart was adhered to the background panel and then the kitty image adhered using foam tape.
Adding a layer of vellum gives a little separation when the background is quite a busy paper.
I've stamped a secondary sentiment in the bottom corner of this card and then scattered a few sequins around the design.
A perfect card for Valentines and loads of other occasions.
