CAS Christmas Mid Month Reminder

Hi Everyone I'm here with a  CAS Christmas Card Challenge mid month reminder card, our host Susan has asked for some Cats and Dog.

I have quite a few friends who are cat lovers and as soon as I saw these Tim Holtz Snarky Cats I knew I had to have them, they are just so snarky.😏

 

 

Tim Holtz Snarky Cats

 

For my card I lightly stenciled Distress Oxide ink through a Mandala stencil, then stamped the cat image and coloured it with Alcohol pens. I used Glossy accents on the eyes and Wink of Stella on the white areas of the hat and the cat's beard. This was a pretty quick card to make so I think I will use the set of cats for my friends.

 

Here is a close up of the little snarky Kitty.

CAS Christmas Card Challenge- it's time for Dogs and Cats

Hi Everyone it's time for CAS Christmas Card Challenge and Susan our host wants to see Dogs and Cats on our cards.

Please join the Design Team and our Guest Designer Jane ( Onions and Paper blog) in creating some fun and I'm sure adorable Christmas cards.

My card for the challenge was to be my husbands Christmas card this year but somehow it got lost in my craft room. Has anyone else done that? You put something down and it vanishes, I looked 5 or 6 times before Christmas but couldn't find it. It finally re-surfaced after Christmas during my big clean up-so back in the box it goes for next year 😁

The stamp is called Cold Noses from Technique Junkies, I couldn't resist buying it with two of my own Golden Retrievers at home. I stamped the image twice and watercoloured them based on Dylan our male dog and Tika our female's colouring (Dylan is the lighter of the two) and of course added the  blue and red scarves if my husband couldn't tell who was who.

Dylan and Tika certainly have cold noses and warm hearts, here is a picture of one of their favorite activities- play fighting  in our living room. They bring us so much joy and have kept us sane and healthy during COVID💖
