Wish You were Here

One last card for this week, friends.  It's using a Rubbernecker stamp I bought before Christmas but didn't get around to till now.  Heck, a lot of my not-yet-used stamps have been waiting much longer.

I will confess I have a great fondness for cute stamps on cute cards that are light, bright, colorful, and fun.  Of course, you know I also love gorgeous flowers and... well... whatever.  I love a lot of things.  Today my heart belongs to these Rubbernecker 3 Cats in Tree.  I colored with Copics on watercolor paper and cut with the coordinating die.  The frame and heart were cut from a watercolor background.  The sentiment is another RN stamp:  Day in Paradise.




As you can see, I embraced the white space and left the background very clean with nothing more than an embossed card base.  The card is 4 3/4" because I recently bought some 5x5 envelopes which I thought was an unusual find.  I like this card size.  Not too big, not too small.

Inside I stamped an old JustRite sentiment and added another die cut heart.




I hope I'll have some cards next week.  I've been on a cleaning and homemaking binge for a few days, but I'm sure I'll get to my stamp room now and then, too.  Wishing you happiness, and I'll see you soon!

    So fun!! Love everything about this Leslie - from your wonderful colouring, the embossed background and your fun size card base, this makes me smile! I love cats but am allergic to them (so sad). Thanks for sharing this card today, great way to start of my weekend, as I'm off today! Have a fabulous day! Hugs,

    I certainly understand why this stamp did not set long before you got to using it. I love it and it is so cute with those three cats in the tree. So fun and cat lovers would love to get a card with these cuties on it. Your coloring is wonderful too.

    Cute, CUTE card Leslie! Even though I'm a dog lover, those cats are just too FUN and I love their facial expressions! And of course the sentiment is perfect! I know I'm not the only one who will miss you on the Twofer blog and you've given me some big shoes to fill...hopefully I'll be able to keep up! Hope you'll come back and play as often as you can!! Hugs. :0)

    Your cats are so adorable Leslie! I love how you've coloured them, especially the calico cat! What a fun card and a beautiful dry embossed pattern in the background. xx
