Hello Friends, As this posts I will be in sunny L.A. at CHA! Attending CHA was always a dream of mine and to be here is such an honor and something that I don't take for granted. CHA also brings back memories of being at trade shows. I used to go to the furniture markets to buy accessories and things to fill your home with warmth & love. I was the buyer and manager for a  retail store called "The Class Act". That was years ago but, I will always be sales girl at heart.  Ok....that's enough about me :)


This Valentine stamp from Penny Black doubles as a Birthday stamp. My daughter loves to buy her brother boxers for every occasion and since his Birthday is around the corner  this card should be perfect for him.



The background was created with distress inks and you can see the layering of colors below. Most of you know that I have a post with layering colors but, just in case you don't here here is that link again. The texture on the boxers was created by wetting a towel with some nap to it with Copic's blending solution and holding the towel on the boxer for a quick second. (First color the boxers with Copic markers and cut a small corner from a towel.)



I wrapped the string around his little leg that's attached to the balloon but, it's hard to see in this photo. Thanks for visiting  me and have a great week. Hugs, Kathy
Oh I almost forgot to say thanks to Jennifer McGuire for the inspiration!!  I watched her braid a dog collar for a card this fall and filed that awesome idea away for today. Thanks Jennifer :)
