Hello, everyone! Long time, no see! I'm reviving my blog on a trial basis to see how it goes. And I'm just in time for the 7th Annual Cat Lovers Hop, which starts today - woot, woot! I've never missed a year! Thank you, Janis, for hosting this fun hop again - it's an event that I look forward to all year long!
For Day 1 of the hop, I'm sharing a winter holiday card that I made for hubby. I stamped one of my favourite old wood-mounted kitty stamps, coloured it with markers, and added Stardust Stickles on the hats. I die-cut the image with a dotted square and then mounted on a scalloped square. The stamp is from Stampendous, called Snuggly Kitties, dated 2006. I noticed that Stampendous is also one of the generous sponsors again this year - thank you!
I created the background with Distress Oxides (Mowed Lawn, Lucky Clover, Tumbled Glass) using the watercolour ink-smooshing technique on textured watercolour paper. I stamped xoxo (Clearly Besotted) at the bottom and added three punched snowflakes (Recollections).
I would also like to join the following 7 challenges, for a total of 8:
