Christmas Card Challenge #25

It's time for another challenge over at Christmas Card Challenges. This week we have an Inspiration Photo challenge with Cats.  It's time to get your Christmas Cards made!! 

To make this card I used the Katzelkraft stamp set called Russian Cats. They have such funny expressions. I also used the Accessories set that coordinates with all the Katzelkraft animal stamp sets. I colored the kitty and the background with Comic Markers. I added some glittery ornaments and the sentiment is from a Carabelle stamp set. I'm linking to all these stamps below. They are all available in my online store www.topflightstamps.com. Thanks for stopping by!

Mixed Media Monthly Challenge #42 - Silhouette


It's time for another Mixed Media Monthly Challenge! This month our theme is Silhouette and our sponsor is the awesome stamp company Visible Image from the UK.

I used the two stamp sets and stencil below on my card.

Own Kind of Beautiful


Scripted Streets

Cosmic Skies

To create my card I started the background with Distress Crayons. I gessoed the card first, 
put the crayons on and then rubbed them in with my fingers. 
Then I put the stencil on top and sprayed water. Some water got under the stencil 
and left a very random patterned. I kept spraying with water to get it lighter. 
I really like the kind of snowy feel it has.

Here's the finished card. I stamped with Versafine Black Ink and a MISTI so I could get full coverage on the images. I mounted it to a 5 x 7 black card base and added some black pearls.
