Kimono Kitty

My favourite stamp of all time is this gorgeous cat in a kimono by Art Neko. I have a larger version too. I haven't used these for absolutely ages and I feel sorry for neglecting them. The kanji is 'Cat' and I stamped it with Brilliance gold but because the card is a bit thick it absorbed much of the gold shininess. I used a small piece of beautiful Japanese paper as a kind of picture for the cat to look at, it was too nice to be used as a background paper.

Do you think a cat in a kimono is unlikely? Well Hana PetWear would disagree. Check out their beautiful kimonos for cats and dogs.


I've ordered 3 for Miaowski!!!! No, I haven't actually but I'd like to :)

Well it has been absolutely gorgeous here in the UK. The sun has been shining all weekend and we are due for a whole week of it - how nice is that? Well, I will have to be out as much as possible which will probably mean I won't be doing so much card making this week. Unless, of course, I get inspired. I'm lacking inspiration at the moment, think the sun has zapped it out of my head!

Have a happy Monday. Thanks for stopping by ...

What a lovely day

I have had the best birthday today. It's been so lovely and here's a big THANK YOU to everyone who has bought me such lovely gifts and given me lovely cards, I felt thoroughly spoilt.

I have been too busy to make a new card for today's blog. Thought I'd put up a card I made a long time ago. I'm not sure if you can tell but the central square was stamped with the Geisha and then embossed over and over with UTEE (ultra thick embossing enamel) to make it look like an enamel tile. It's a shame it's not a nice clear picture as it looked better in reality than here. The image and japanese characters are stamps I've had for a long time, I can't remember what company they're from.
