Fat Cat Mat Sat

Hello.  Welcome.  Just a quick tag I made.  Well, I say quick.  This cat is the third attempt at using embossing paste with a stencil.  The first two, well lets just say they weren't brilliant.  The fourth one will be making an appearance at a later date.  Obviously this is a practice makes perfect technique but must admit I think it's well worth the effort. 



I based my tag on the Your Next Stamp sketch and colours.  The cat is Dreamweavers Retro Cat Sitting embossed with black paste on Bazzill Bling cardstock.  I cut the tag shapes using Sizzix Tag #2 dies and added some wool from the box marked 'pretty wool'.  The sentiment is a Hero Arts stamp on a piece of vellum.

This is a great go at the paste Gail! Thanks for joining up for the challenge this month. And Christmas is Ok too! You'll notice my post this week had a bit of a Christmas flair. I am going to have some time available so I will be doing some Christmas-y things myself.

Adorable cat, Gail! I just bought two "cat" stamps and made a card for my daughter today! A great way to say "thank you." It won't be tossed!

Gorgeous tag Gail :-) I love the cat image,, very cute :-)

one tip for stencils, you may already know, but if you spray the reverse of the stencil with repositional adhesive, the paste, or inks won't seep underneath. Hope this helps :-)

thanks for joining us on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

The paste looks so crisp and clean! Very striking. Thanks for joining in the fun at YNS with your take on the sketch! The vellum is a great touch.
