Cats rule, Dogs drool

Hi Bloggers.

Happy Christmas Eve!

Here's today's card -

For the background, I ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Creative Expressions Daisy Tiers Embossing Folder and inked around the edges with Pumice Stone Distress Ink. I rubbed Pewter Gilding Wax over the surface. Once dry, I buffed it up using a dry wet wipe.

I stamped the Kitten Treats Background twice using Pumice Stone. I cut 4 squares out using Spellbinders Classic Squares Small. I cut 4 Squares out of Slate Grey Card using Spellbinders Marvelous Squares.

I stamped Poppy using Pumice Stone and pulles a little of the colour out using a Tim Holtz Water Brush. I cut it out using Spellbinders Classic Squares Small and inked through the die with Pumice Stone. I cut the largest die in the Spellbinders Captivating Squares out of Slate Grey Card.

I stamped the sentiment from the Paws-itively Great Stamp Set using Pumice Stone. I cut it out using Spellbinders Petite Scalloped Ovals Large and inked through the die with Pumice Stone.

I tied a bow using Pewter Solid Satin Centre Band Ribbon and added a Heart Sparkler.

I assembled the card as shown adding a Small Circle Dazzler to each corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Cosmic Pearl PVA around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
