I Brake for Curious Cats!

Curious Cat is from I Brake for Stamps' collection of digital stamps. Curious Cat was resized in PhotoElements, printed out onto Copic-friendly cardstock with my laser printer, and colored with my Copic markers. Several layers of Clear Gelly Roll Glaze pen (Sakura) were added to the glass to add dimension and shine.

Orange patterned paper was die-cut with a frame and a label die, then edged with Spiced Marmalade and Rusty Hinge Distress inks.

Patterned papers were layered and edged with the same Distress inks as above. Old  alphabet rub-ons were used to add the sentiment.

For what it's worth, Curious Cat is a very realistic stamp. Each of our cats has stuck his/her head into a glass, container, or bowl (usually in search of food molecules) and gotten stuck, which never fails to amuse us.

I Brake for Purple Hair ...

Hello IBFS fans !!!

It's Crystal here with a Hello card using a digi stamp called Leah a stamp created by Rick St Dennis , this stamp and other great images can be found in the I Brake For Stamps store.

to get this look I colored my image with copic markers and cut it out with a Brother ScanNcut2

this machine cuts out digi or stamped images wonderfully

next I used Tim Holtz distress inks and made a matching layer  , I sponged on ink and added water splatter and heat dried and then added glue splatters and added glitter over that

the Hello is a Stamping Up die and it was die cut from silver foil card stock , the metal dots are colorbok brand.

I don't do bright-colored fun hair very often but I do think it's so fun ... Purple hair don't care ...
