Anyone who knows me knows I love me some CATS! So this set just delights me no end!!! And, yeah, if you know cats, you know they have cat-itude, LOL!

This card started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base, then I added a strip down the left side of the new Bold Diagonal Stripes Background stamped with the also new Cement Gray dye ink. Next up is some Ranger watercolor paper, using Large Grid Stencil through which I watercolored, then splattered with some thinned Chili Powder dye ink and popped up on the base with foam mounting tape.

The little rug is from BB Merry Christmoose and BB Merry Christmoose Die-namics, stamped with Black Licorice hybrid ink and colored with Copic markers. The sweet kitty was done the same way, using Cat-itude and Cat-itude Die-namics. The sentiment is from the same set, stamped on Black Licorice card stock with Versamark and heat embossed with white detail embossing powder, then also popped up. I finished off with some enamel dots.

So, I had to give the doggies some time, too ;-)

This card started with a Cement Gray card stock base. Next I stamped Small Brick Background on Ranger watercolor paper with Versamark, heat embossed with white detail embossing powder, and did a watercolor wash with Chili Powder dye ink before popping it up on foam mounting tape.

Next I cut the dog with Top Dog Die-namics, stamped the coordinating image with Top Dog, and colored with Copic markers. I popped him and some hearts, also from the set, up on foam mounting tape and added the sentiment from the set, cut from Black licorice card stock with LLD Smart Phone Die-namics and also heat embossed.

And that’s all I have for you—until the New Product Release tonight! Thanks so much for stopping by! See you soon!
