Dancing Kitties

I made this ATC for the theme Vintage Cats. Image was fussy cut from an image I downloaded from the internet. The music was die cut with a CC Designs die. I added tiny buttons as the note heads and a gold musical note charm. The inspiration I used for this week's Splitcoaststampers Inspiration Challenge is  this photo from a baby room Pinterest board.

Always In My Heart

I used a Poppy Stamps die to cut the poppies out of orange, dark green and light green cardstock.  The sentiment (stamp unknown) was stamped with Black Stazon onto cream colored paper.  I used a Spellbinders Nestabilities oval die to cut out the sentiment.  I outlined the oval with a gold leaf Krylon pen.  The butterfly is a Starform sticker.  Everything was mounted on a pre-embossed DCWV white card.  The negative spaces in the butterfly were colored in with bright pink and orange Prismacolor pencils.

This makes a great sympathy card and the poppies are a reminder of our veterans who are commemorated on the Memorial Day weekend.

Postage Stamp ATCs

The Challenge ATC theme for this round of PAT swaps is to use postage stamps as part of the design.  I have been having lots of fun with this theme.  Hoping I can find my stash of old stamps as I can't stop making these!

         
                                                            Helen Buys a New Chair
 This ATC tells the story of Helen Hayes out shopping for a new chair.  I used an image from Graphic 45 and the background paper is DCWV.  I added a purse charm, some Stickles on her dress and a blong necklace.

Miss Fido Has a Lunch Date

 Miss Fido is all dressed up and ready for her lunch date. She's a bit tentative about leaving the house as she just watch the YouTube video of that attack cat...  The patterned paper is Graphic 45, the person stamp is by Angie-B.  A line of magenta bling and a bling collar and purse charm embellish my design.

Asian Poppy

Saturday's Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoaststampers uses a home decor catalog from Grandin Road..  I chose these prints as my inspiration: http://www.grandinroad.com/colorful-...all-art/154956. I had just purchased this stamp and this challenge has prompted me to try it out.

This stamp is from Close to My Heart.  I used Prismacolor pencils to color the image.  Papers are by DCWV.

I added some windows and a door, brad door knob and some scalloped velvet trim and black rhinestone bling to the roof edge. Image was colored with Prismacolor pencils. I punched some tiny flowers and added Stickles centers.
