Hello and good morning crafty peeps! Here's a card I made yesterday while playing in my craft room. (It was raining on and off all day. What better way to spend the day?!)
I die cut the crazy double stitches first, then stamped and heat embossed my kitty in gold embossing powder. Then I embossed the panel with the swirls, also using a folder frame so that the kitty didn't get embossed. The area that didn't get embossed left a fair bit of flat space above the kitty, so I searched my stickers for tiny hearts. These are Mrs. Grossman's stickers. Remember those?! I stamped the sentiment using my MISTI (It's actually 3 separate stamps. Using a MISTI
really helps to line the words up evenly!), then heat embossed the sentiment onto black card stock and adhered with foam squares. Another CAS card - I must be possessed! LOL!
That's all I have for now. The oppressive heat
finally broke last night here in the mid-Atlantic region. I'm going to go an enjoy it! Have a great day, and stay crafty my friends!
