Rainbow Bridge

 Not a happy occasion to have to make Rainbow Bridge cards but it gives some comfort to the recipients. These cards were made for the passing of my grandson's ginger kitty named Pancakes.

I used cat in an oval  on a blended sky background added it to an embossed layer, it fit inside perfectly. 

This one was for the family.

This card was made for my great granddaughter as she took Pancakes passing especially hard.

The heart shaped die cut was layered on some watercoloured paper, The rainbow  colours were blended on the base to match the paw prints die cut.

Both cards have the same sentiment.

I want to add this to:

Top 'O The Mornin' to You.............

An early Happy St. Patrick's day to everyone!!! Show us Your Pussycats Challenge has an optional theme of St. Patrick's Day and since I have a "Fluffles" St. Patrick's Day stamp I just had to join in the fun!!  Since I needed more inspiration than a stamp I zoned in on the current sketch challenge from Mojo Monday and it was perfect, it was a win/win.

I am sure keeping this sketch in a folder to use again, it's perfect for these Fluffles stamps sadly they are not available from Stampendous anymore. The image was coloured with copics and winked with stella. The sentiment was computer generated, the striped paper was a scrap from my stash the other two papers were printed from google.

Since I don't send many St Patrick's day cards I didn't have a sentiment but this one from Printworks is perfect for a lot of occasions. 

Entering the following challenges:

It's Raining Cats and Dogs at Shopping Our Stash!!!

Challenge #379 at Shopping Our Stash is Raining Cats and Dogs translation ~~ we want to see Cats, Dogs or Rain would be cool to use all three, but I didn't as I was short on time this week. I did make two cards. Here is my first card using a Katzelkraft Cat.

This is as clean and simple as you will get from me. The music background stamp is from Stampin'up the Happy Birthday is unmarked and the cat singing is from Katzelkraft. I added paper glaze to the music noted.

I used (for the first time) an Elizabeth Craft Designs paw print die and one of the first sentiment stamps I bought many many moons ago (over 10) 

On to my Second Card

It's a Katzelkraft dog,  images sent as a RAK from a friend. I've had the patterned paper for many months and although it's opened I think it might be the first time cutting into it.  I thought the cute "hound" needed a "houndstooth" background. There is paperglaze on the doggie's nose and on the bone which is popped up. 

Nothing like gussying up the inside, I really wanted to use this die and cut it to use on the front and I really liked the clean look of the front without it so decided to put in inside. Another first cut for the die with the exceptions of cutting a few bones for a different challenge. The sentiment is a cling mount one from Stampendous.

Thanks for checking in today and head over to the Main Blog and see what the rest of the design team have made for the challenge (I wonder if anyone did a trifecta?)

Jingle All The Way!!!

Jingle Belles Rock the Christmas Bells!!! I'm so happy to be able to create a second card for the challenge. I decided the Fluffles stamped image really needed to be "square". Fluffles is one of the older stamps I have and sadly they are discontinued they were from Stampendous.

This is as CAS as you get from me!!! I now see how much "white" space there is in the background even though it's striped.

Finished inside with some left over patterned paper and a Impression Obsession sentiment.
