While Celeste is enjoying some time away, my coffee loving, card making friend from Brazil ( by way of New York ) - Michael Trent - will be joining me this month. You can find his paper-crafting genius at his blog World of Michael Trent . Our theme for today's post is Christmas in July .
I recently purchased a stamp because it reminded me of our cat, Pixie. As soon as it arrived, I knew it was the perfect stamp for this post !! Pixie is all white with the most beautiful golden eyes. I hope you like my card featuring the Pixster.
- I stamped the Meowy Catmas image on watercolor paper with Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink and the sentiment with Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide. It is one stamp - I just inked the upper image and the lower sentiment separately.
- The image was colored with fine Sharpies.
- I trimmed the image and then cut red and green mats.
- I cut a decorative square from a die and adhered it to the upper left side of the green mat.
- The image was adhered to the red mat, then the red to the green.
- I adhered the entire matted image to a Fa-la-la card base.
- A touch of gold was added to the cat's eyes - just like Pixie.
I also colored a few more images because I loved it so much !!
I can't wait to see what Michael comes up with - his cards are always fabulous. Take a look over at his blog post- World of Michael Trent . He also loves coffee as much as I do so I'm curious to see what he is drinking this morning. I'm having a cup of Honey Bun coffee in my new cat mug ( I really didn't need a new mug, but I couldn't resist this one at a clearance price on Macys.com ).
Thank you for visiting me here again at Meticulosity !! To celebrate Christmas in July, please comment for a chance to win some Happy Mail from me full of holiday surprises . Until next time, Stay Creative !!
