Lamplight Kitties

Morning Folks!

Hope there are still some peeps reading my blog - I know it has been a bit neglected lately, life has been busy and I'm really hoping for a relaxing weekend!! I bet you are too!!

The new challenge of 

BLACK AND WHITE WITH A POP OF ONE OTHER COLOUR

is just starting over at Sweet Stampin' .

Have to admit, at first I struggled to think what to do for this one. Then, while I was looking for something else, I found these very old cat silhouette stamps from Little Claire and ta da .... inspiration struck!

In the end this was a quick card to make, only a teeny bit of yellow promarker involved! I stamped the cats with Staz On ink as it gives a really dark image which I like. The sentiment is from a Humphrey's Corner set and the embossing folder is unsurprisingly called 'Brick' by Creative Expressions - it hadn't seen the light of day in many years!

Thanks for visiting and for any comments. I'm off to do a few jobs in the garden, not my strong point but needs must!!  

Back now to add some challenges:

Creative Knockouts - Use your stash (old stamps and embossing folder)

Crafty Creations - Embossing

Crafty Catz -CAS

Wags 'n Whiskers - CAS

EDITED TO ADD:

Christmas Scottie dogs

Hi Everyone! Hope you are all staying warm and cosy in this cold weather. It's Thursday again and time for a new challenge at C.R.A.F.T.

This time we would like to see your projects for

CHRISTMAS BIRTHDAY

We are sponsored again by

Now I have to admit that the three people I know who have birthdays close to christmas all hate having birthday cards that look like Christmas cards or worse still a Christmas card sent instead of a birthday card! Bearing this in mind, I have used a Tartan paper (somehow always reminds me of Christmas - why??) , a dark Christmas green colour and a few splashes of gold. Hopefully a 'hint' of Christmas

The stamped images are from a larger stamp from Little Claire which I bought years ago at a craft show, it was one of the first clear stamps in my collection! They are coloured with promarkers.

The little dog charm is also antique and from Crafty charms on ebay!

I'd also like to enter this into the following challenges:

Oldie but a Goodie - Xmas birthday

Party time Tuesdays - Anything goes birthday!

Passion for promarkers - Old & New (old stamp and charm, new tartan paper)

Fab N Funky : Birthday

Bee Crafty's card Challenge : Anything goes but include white

Stay warm folks!
