Some angels have fur

Well three days in a row with cat cards. Now I don't know why, but like I said before I have my family and friends that are going through a streak of losing their furry ones. Hence another sympathy card was needed after I just made a batch last week. My cousin just lost her 21 year old cat.  For my card, I embossed the white and black and for the photo I couldn't get the black dry embossing to show up. The stamps are from Newton's Nook.

Hey, Gull friend!

I just had to get this stamp from Newton's Nook, Gull Friends.  And I heat embossed the sentiment. I noticed that I must have pressed hard to smudge the "l", but thought it would look like gull poop, lol. I dry embossed waves on the background.

Never too grown up

I almost forgot to post the last card I had for the new release for Imagine That Digistamp which is unfortunate because this is my favorite card.  It is using, Raymond's Reindeer Friend, and has a sentiment from TLC.  For this card I embossed a cloud sky background and using a die for the snowhill.  I used a wonderful product to mask the snow from Molotow.
