The Many Faces of Cats

I just had to enter the Oozak challenge again this month!  I like their monthly challenge. With my crazy schedule, it is nice to have a longer window in which to create a card.  Although, if it wasn't for the holiday weekend, I probably wouldn't make it this month! 

I used some stamps from the "Nine Lives" set by Penny Black.  I love all of the different looks in this set.  The one I am most familiar with based on the demeanor of my cats...is the one on the bottom row.  I guess it is their best side!  The paper is from an older pack for pets.  Neither of my cats are orange tabbies, but this paper was screaming for that coloring, so I went with it!

Since this month's challenge was spring colors, I thought the oranges and teals would be perfect!  Reminds me of the summer sun and the water in a pool!  I colored the cats with my Copic Markers.

This is a card I made for the challenge being hosted over at Oozak.  This is their first ever challenge and I had every intention of getting this done weeks ago!  Good thing it is a monthly challenge!  I am skidding in at the last minute, but I made it!  The challenge was "Anything Goes" and I decided to use this cute stamp from Penny Black.  I think it is such a cute image and it was fun to color!  I also used Deconstructed Sketch #46 for the layout.  This was the first time I have used the Copic Blending Card and it was delightful to work with.  I have been using Neenah Classic Crest since I was first certified and I really liked how smooth it was.  I will definitely have to add some to my collection.

If you haven't checked out the challenge over at Oozak, pop on over and join the fun!
