Lots of Love at Christmas

This adorable duo are lots of fun to color.  I did try a new product for the snowflakes - a Snow Marker from Uchida.  I'm not really a fan after my first time using it.  The first thing that happened was I got a puddle and luckily I tried it on the sheet that I write down which Copics I've used when coloring a project.  Then I put it in all the little snow spots and used my heat gun to make it puff up.  About 50% only actually puffed up.  And the ones that did are more gray than white.  I decided to bring out the Snow Tex to finish off the Santa hat on the cat.

Halloween Cat Card

Pinterest...it's lovely and sometimes costs me money.  I had seen this stamp on there and naturally it's a retired Stampin' Up stamp.  The good news was I was able to find on on eBay.  It's a good place to find all kinds of retired stamps.  Some are at a reasonable price, some not so much.

Beware of Cat Card

I'm one of those cat owners that has a cat that this card applies to.  If my cat likes you, you can relax.  If he doesn't....do not make eye contact.  I knew I had to have this stamp when I saw it.  My mom has a cat like this too...she's getting the card for Halloween.
