Many years ago I co-owned a small stamp store in South Dakota, and one of our best-selling stamp lines was “Art Impressions.” I especially liked their “golden oldies” and “front and back” stamps. This cute little cat is a wonderful example of the F&B stamps, as you get to see both sides of the little feline. I thought the computer-generated sentiment worked perfectly with the cat image. So fun!

I’m entering my card into several challenges including Inspiration Stations: Photo Prompt (my card was inspired by the cat in the photo) and the Time Out Challenge (which is celebrating it’s 1oth Birthday! Yay!)

Supplies: 

·   Stamp-Art Impressions (Front & Back Cat) Retired

·   Weathered Wood Patterned Paper- Hobby Lobby

·   Sentiments- Computer Generated

·   All other items from my stash.

I wanted to make a special card for two challenges that focus on Flowers. And, since I had my wood-mount stamps out, I decided to use one of my favorite PSX stamps. To add a bit more beauty, I embossed the image with gold! (Haven’t used my EP’s for many, many years, but it still worked!)  

Supplies: 

·   Stamp- PSX Rose Wreath (company no longer in business)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Sentiments- unknown sources (rubber stamp removed from wood several years ago)

·   Gold Pigment Ink, Gold Embossing Powder, brown ink pad, stripe stencil, ribbon and other items from my stash.

My final card this post is an adorable digi from All Dressed Up. This sweet Valentine image was a freebie from Kit and Clowder back in 2021… and I don’t see it on ADU’s Etsy site, but I have found artist/owner Wendy Burns to be a kind and generous person, so you could always message her to see if this digi is available.)
