The cats were not part of the plan. No, really! The plan was to emboss an old Hero Arts stamp, Branches and Flourishes Christmas Tree, using PEARLustre Emerald embossing powder from Stampendous, embellish it with bitty sparkles that were colored with a red alcohol marker and top it with a gold sparkle from Stampin' Up. Gold embossing a sentiment from an old Close to My Heart set, Holiday wishes, would complete a CAS card for the Stamping Sensations "Add Some Sparkle" and ABC Christmas "A is for Anything Christmas Goes" challenges.
Alas, when I went to embellish the tree it came to my attention that the power on the end of the lower right branch had failed to melt and had since smeared. What to do? Cover it up, of course. One of my favorite dies, labeled simply "Cat Set" from Impression Obsession to the rescue! I embossed the sentiment on a strip popped up with thin foam tape to provide something for the cats, which had been cut three times and stacked for dimension, to stand on. And you know they had to have blingy collars for the holidays. Thanks to them I will also enter this card in the Show Us Your Pussy Cats "Furrything Goes" challenge because as far as Luna and Calli are concerned, the kitties are the stars of the show. That tree is just the backdrop for them.
Thank you for stopping by! Until next time, Hansi
I think the cats offer a lovely addition around the tree, many thanks for sharing with us at Stamping Sensations challenge.
