Hi there! Mooch is the cat, in case you were wondering. I dipped into my Lavinia stamps and endeavored to use some that have not yet seen ink. In this case it's Mooch and the crows.
When I start adding ink I'm am not always sure where I'll end up. Maybe this is a big harvest moon, but I can't say that was exactly the plan. Inks are Memento Tuxedo Black and Stampin' Up. I didn't do anything special or extra. It's just plain old stamping and lots and lots of color. The sentiment is from a retired Power Poppy set.
I'll send my card over to Darnell's NBUS Challenge #59 because I was pleased to use Mooch and the crows for the first time.
All the Lavinia stamps are listed below. Thank you for coming to visit. I'll be back when something crafty happens. Enjoy your weekend!
Oh my!! This is just amazing!! I could stay for hours with Mooch in that heaven full of shadows to watch the birds and hear Nature sounds and silence! And enjoying the moment for sure! Such wonderful colours!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE. The image scene is priceless... Love the overall look. Have a great day
ReplyDeleteWow, this is awesome, you are so good at creating these scenes, I love mooch and thought I had him in my stash but didn't find him, this could be my house with my kitties watching the birds, beautifully creative!!
ReplyDeleteWow! So beautiful. I love all the colors in the background. It looks like a sunset. Did you stamp on glossy paper? Love Mooch.
ReplyDeleteOH MY STARS!! This is GORGEOUS! You did an AMAZING job with your inking and scene! Well done my friend ... just stunning!
ReplyDeleteYour card is so pretty! Love your coloring and Mooch is so cute looking up at the sky or maybe dinner (AKA birds)!! You do an excellent job with these stamps! we have 4 more inches of snow coming tonight so looks like a good time to craft! Have a great weekend!

Your inked background is simply stunning. You should be very proud of this one. Love it xx
ReplyDeleteOH, Leslie! What you call 'plain old stamping..' seems like SO much more! Gorgeous ink blending, color choices, and I sure do love that cat! Remember Heckle and Jeckle? Those crows sure triggered a memory!
ReplyDeleteLOve it and enjoyed every moment of this post!

Leslie, I always enjoy your Lavinia creations. The leafy tree branch and crows are great! Mooch is in my stash, too, and I just love the scruffy, on-high-alert, but-I'm-a-reserved-soul expression he has. No matter what the scene, Mooch is in control. LOL The masking in your colorful background looks beautiful, of course! I like that you let the colors take you on the journey. hugs, de
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Leslie, what a marvelous scene you've created! Mooch is such a pretty little cat. I love where this card ended up, it's fantastic!
ReplyDeleteMistakenly read your 1st paragraph as using new cat and cow stamps, and I'm looking at your card asking "what cows"! Oh boy, am I getting old and blind or what?!! But anyway, your kitty and the CROWS are awesome on this wonderful card Leslie, and I'm loving all the background blended colors with the silhouette stamping too! FABULOUS card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteThe colours of the hills with the sunset reflections is amazing, Leslie. Beautiful card using your first outing for Mooch and the crows. Love it! xx
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Leslie! The colors are fabulous and I love how you put all the images together to make such a peaceful scene. Although, maybe Mooch has something not so peaceful in mind with those birds.
ReplyDeleteMooch in silhouette is really something... this whole scene is enchanting, as Lavinia scenes usually are! Beautiful work, Leslie.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved Mooch and this is such a wonderful scene, Leslie! Those crows better watch out! Mooch looks very interested!
ReplyDeleteamazing scene, such beautiful colours blended over the sky and so atmospheric with the black creating a frame.
ReplyDeleteI just received some new Lavinia stamps, I really need to ink them up :)

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely amazing card Leslie! Love how you created your scene, the beautiful blended background, your leafy branches some near some far, the crows and then of course Mooch - it's so perfect Leslie. Absolutely love this! You have a wonderful ability to take what you vision and create it! I hope we get to see more of these types of artwork with your Lavinia stamps. Hope you are keeping well. Hugs,
