ATCAS #153 - Grid
The inspiration word over at the latest Addicted to CAS challenge is "Grid." Come join us!
For my card, I created a grid by masking and sponging a stencil using Distress Oxides. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love grids and apertures. Look how much I could stuff into that little scene. So cute! I also like the colorway I chose. It's more muted than my usual but certainly brings to mind winter!
The Details: Newton's Nook Frozen Fellowship, Darkroom Door Mixed Boxes Stencil, Mama Elephant Little Snowman Agenda, Distress Oxides, Memento Tuxedo Black, Copics, Versafine Onyx Black

Whimsy F3 - Spay & Neuter Everybody
Ack! I love the February Whimsy Stamps release set Don't Shop Dogs (there's a cat version too)!
It's an issue close to my heart so I have taken abandoned cats in my neighborhood to the Feral Cat Project where I live to get neutered and a full medical workup. I do wish people would take responsibility for their pets. Maybe those who don't should be spayed and neutered too like the card says. LOL!
For my card, I stamped and masked the dogs before stamping the girl from the Cute but Psycho set so she would appear behind them. You know, lurking, like the creepy relative she is! I used Memento Tuxedo Black which is my favorite ink to use with Copics.
I will admit I checked out pics online to be able to color the dogs such that the breed is recognizable. I hope they are anyway! So many cute dogs out there but I'll stick to cats, thank you very much. :)

SOSS #128 - K is for Kitties
My card started out with one of my Gelli prints that I thought fit the rather Victorian and imperious look of puss puss. He's a bit of a snobby grump so I naturally had to use the Dylusions sentiment. Indeed! (That's printed with my label maker, btw.)
He's so like one of my cats. He wants love 24-7 cat time. LOL.

Snail Mail
A couple of weekends ago I got to hang out with some fab crafters and we had so much fun! I was able to play with this cute set, newly released by Trinity Stamps. Is it not super cute?!
I stamped the scene directly off the acetate with a bit of masking. I used Memento Tuxedo Black for that. Then I used a stencil and a couple of colors of Distress Oxide to do the clouds. I used another shade or two of Distress Oxides to blend in the grass. I didn't bother masking since a little action with a simple eraser will remove most of the DO from any parts you don't want it. (Neat, right?!)
I finally colored up the image using the below Copics. Voila--Valentine card!
The Details: Trinity Stamps Mr. Snailman, MFT Mini Cloud Border Stencil, Memento Tuxedo Black, Copics, Distress Oxides
