Kitty

there is nothing like a cat, I have two tuxedo kitties in my life

they make me happy

This Hallow's Eve Kitty from Unity Stamp Company

makes me happy too

I created the center circle using various mists

stamped the kitty/moon/bats using Ranger's Archival Ink

then using a tiny paint brush I painted the moon with Liquid Pearls in White Opal

Printed papers are an old Making Memories 8x8 pack Spook Alley

The awesome little chipboard bats are from UmWowStudio

I painted the bats with Tuxedo Smooch

edges are distressed with Tim Holtz Black Soot

I played along with Sketch Saturday #379

I made very small changes: left off the staples, added a sentiment strip, changed the stars to bats plus dropped one and moved them over but I think you can still see the basic sketch idea :-)

a vintage stroll

I love love love this stamp from Stamper's Best/Deep Red

Distressing Ink - Tim Holtz Shabby Shutters

Ribbon, Vine & Flower - May Arts Ribbons

My inspiration came from Sketch Saturday #369

yep, I rotated it and traded out the tiny star for a fairly large flower/heart/vine thing

For the Sentiment, I decided to make a pull-out tag that is hidden behind the image instead of stamping the inside of the card.  This is for whatever service man or woman decides to send this little cutie to a friend or family member back in the states, they'll have plenty of room to write to them
