There
was no post yesterday because I was too tired to type. We decided it wasn’t
that hot (29ºC which is 84ºF) and there was a light wind blowing at the lake so
that should make it some what cooler so lets go for a bike ride……28km later it
was YIKES, what were we thinking. We forgot to add in the humidex factor which
made it feel more like 94F and the wind
didn’t help one bit. By the time we got home, watered the garden and then fed
us; did dishes and showered I was done in.
This
evening’s post almost didn’t get made either. Hubby decided at 5:30 pm to start
to cut the grass…he was going to be quick and then we would eat – almost three hours
later he’s almost ready to jump in the shower and after that we can eat supper! Men!
But
I am posting another Crazy Cat card.
The
background paper is from the stash – just two pieces taped together at the back
and then a gold peel-off strip down the seam. The cat was stamped on cheap
water colour paper and coloured with water colour pencils and then blended with
water. I stamp with Black Archival ink when doing water colouring; Prismacolor
pencils colouring; and using my alcohol pens…which are my least favourite
medium….but I don’t have Copics so maybe that’s why. The cupcake is a very old
die set so not likely still available. Once the cupcake liner was die cut it
looked blah so I inked the edges and stamped a graphic stamp from Stampin’ Up
over it…irregularly on purpose…to give it some texture. The icing is shiny
because it was covered with Rangers Pearl Stickles. The sentiment is a gold
peel-off.
This
card is being entered into these challenges:

That crazy cat is just too funny. He looks like he is about to jump on that cupcake. Maybe he likes cherries too. Just a cute card. Thanks for joining us at Seize the Birthday.
