Paper Players 281 Dogs and Cats


Happy Sunday, all!  Are you watching the Super Bowl today?  DH will be, but I will probably be knitting or sewing or something....until Downton Abbey comes on, anyway!  Today is my turn to host the Paper Players challenge, and I've chosen the theme of "Raining Cats and Dogs"....to use a dog or cat on your creation!


I have always liked this little quartet of kitties from 100 Proof Press, and although I am not sure about the papers I chose, I'm sticking to it:


They are from the Simple Stories "I Am" line....fun colors together!  The word-printed paper is the opposite of the black floral, and it gave me a wide enough piece on which to stamp my kitties and color them in with some So Saffron ink and a blender pen.  The sentiments are from Lil'Inker's Rainbow and Cloud sentiments, all stamped in Basic Black:


Isn't that little calico one cute?   I used the sketch by my sweet friend Linda from Pals Paper Arts 286:

PPA-286-Feb04

Strawberry Slush was used for the diagonal piece, and I did a little piercing on it, and gave my stamped image a double mat of So Saffron and Bermuda Bay.  The final touch was a stitched heart and some baker's twine.

I hope you can find some dog and/or cat stamps in your stash and play along with my challenge this week!  See the cute creations that our DT made:

Thanks for popping by today! And here are some more "hair-styling" photos:





What a look!

    Hello LeAnne: So sorry for the lateness of this comment but I wanted to thank you for this fun challenge. Your image is so beautiful, love this row of cats looking out the window. I'm a cat person so I went to look for this stamp and I found it, it's just so sweet. Love the beautiful design of your card, that DSP is just gorgeous.
    Thank you again for this fun challenge.
    Maria.
