cards, cards, cards


so, in this my "period of unemployment" I have been doing lots of card making.  The weather has been beastly humid, and the garden doesn't need so much of my care, so I spend my days in the studio, creating.
Funny cause I remember days at work when I wished I could be in the studio all the time, now I kinda wish I could be at work........ah well, it'll all balance out in the end, right?  I am a Pisces and a very go-with-the-flow Pisces at that.  I tend to think that when its right, the job will come to me and if I push it too hard, I will only push it away.  My husband on the other hand is very goal oriented and has a path to follow........it gets a little interesting around here sometimes!

anyway, heres the card.
I love this stamp, its fun to color, the cat is so cute, and being a cat person I think the sentiment is right on!  I water-colored the image, on 120# paper distressed the edges of the main panel and pierced the corners.  The three layer colors are a faux fabric/faux suede technique that I got from Lauren Meader's blog, you can review it here .  Believe me, she does it much better than I do!
