You’re not ….

http://cardz4galz.blogspot.com/

It has been quite some time since I pulled out the Crazy Cats by Tim Holtz so this challenge was a good one for me bring them out and use them. I also used a sentiment (cut up) from Dylusions which is another set I’ve not used anywhere near enough. The snarkiness of this set amuses me.

I started by stamping the fish skeleton for a background and inked the edges to make it stand out a bit more from the card base. After die cutting the center panel using an unbranded stitched frame set, I inked those edges with same colour ink. Then the two cats were stamped coloured with Inktense pencils and also die cut. I like that the dies for this set don’t leave a white border. I enhanced the eyes and whiskers with a Sakura glaze pen . The sentiment was added as you see but I forgot to add something to the panel and it looked a bit stark. In the end I used a couple of very tiny stamps and added hearts and some flowers in Wild honey ink. To make it fit in with the background I added a few hearts around the edges of that piece too. Cats were popped up on foam tape.

Thanks for taking a look. It is always appreciated as I know your time is precious.

  2. Perfect crazy cat card and most cats are a little crazy too. Love the fish bone background and your cut apart wonky sentiment strips.

    1. Glad you like it – thank you. We always had cats, but hubby’s lungs can no longer cope so no more after the last one passed away.

  5. Thanks. A few years ago, I made a Christmas tree out of the bone stamp and die that came with this set. That card actually won the challenge.
