A Kitty with Heart

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Another valentine with this cut kitty.

Don't you love that smile?

I've stamped the kitty in Memento ink and colored her with watercolor pencils.

She got a little gem in her heart and a little twine to ground her.

The background was done with my favorite heart embossing folder.

Thanks for the enabling, Michele.

I'm going to take her over to the Let's Squash it Challenge

Since this is the first outing for this fun kitty, I'll take it over to

The NBUS Challenge too.

Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

Whittle Bird in Birches

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I admit it.  I just don't have good luck with inking embossing folders!

But, I did manage to get one good pass by sponging the ink on the folder

and running it through without spritzing.

I think the spritzing is my problem.  And spraying.

Since I finally had some success, I took advantage of it and got two cards out of it.

This sweet little bird is from Poppystamps and cut from a snippet of Inka Gold Smoosh.

Geometric Foil Christmas Tree

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

There's a new challenge out there,

Let's Squash It!!!

It's all about embossing folders of which I have a LOT.

This looks like lots of fun Gail & Jo!

This is their first challenge...

I pulled out a piece of green foil cardstock then went through my embossing folders

to find something geometric.

I settled on an old Stampin' Up! embossing folder with diamonds, 

embossed the foil and sanded the top a bit to highlight the raised design.

You can see the shine here.

Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!
