CASology #61






When I first saw the cue word for this week's CASology, I thought my friend and CASology DT member Tracey was playing a trick on me--did I really need to buy a Silhouette Machine to play along?  Tracey has been tempting and taunting me endlessly to jump aboard the Silhouette bandwagon.

However, when I saw the samples, I realized that I could play along with any of the many silhouette style stamps I have.  I wanted to bring out two of my earliest stamp purchases--two wooden cat silhouette stamps from Judikens.  I used Brilliance Lightning Black--which is a fabulous shimmery greenish black--embossed with clear for the cat, and she has a bright pink gem on her neck to match the Raspberry Fizz ink in the sentiment.  I am entering both of these cards in this week's Simon Says Wednesday Challenge:  Emboss It.





I could not decide which cat to use, so I made two cards, with slightly different layouts.  This cat is sporting a red gem to match the red sentiment and stripes on the card.




Here they are together.  Do you have a preference? 





Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Judikens Purring and Black Cat, PTI Inside & Out Birthday II, Verve Big Wish
Paper:  PTI White, Pure Poppy
Ink:  Brilliance Lightning Black, SU Real Red, PTI Raspberry Fizz
Dies:  Lil Inkers Stitched Rectangles
Other:  Rhinestones, Clear Embossing Powder



Thanks for Visiting
