I love Julie’s work. I check out her blog all the time. She makes the cutest card. So I was not surprised at all that she was picked for today’s featured stamper challenge. Bethie knows what she is doing. *grin*
I picked this card of Julie and cased her layout. I really liked it. Julie mostly uses strictly Stampin’ Up! merchandise, so that’s what I stuck by ….. well, except for a tiny bit of stickles on thewater drops.
I started with stamping the The Cat’s meow image in stazon on watercolor paper. I used watercolor crayons to color it in. Then I sponged first mustard, then rust and then a tad of chocolate around paper. I messed up a bit by trying to fix the colored shadow under the tip of the tail of the cat. It turned a bit yellow instead because of the sponging. DUHHH!!! I still kept the image. I don’t think it’s that bad, plus I was in a bit of a rush since we have plans to go to the beach.
I layered the image on black cardstock, then on Natural Ivory. The patterned paper is from Friends & Flowers simply scrappin kit. The hardware is from the Antique Brass Hodgepodge hardware kit.
Words are from Warm Words and Amazing to Zany! Finally I made a Stampin’ Up! card again. Wohooo!!!! I added crystal effect over the water bowl, and stardust stickles over the water splashes.
This morning Rebecca stamped a little and wanted me to post her card to her BFF on my site….so if you want to see Reba’s card, click on more.
Sorry about the fuzziness of the picture. Rebecca is big into doing everything herself. So of course, she had to take the picture by herself as well. The only thing I was allowed to do besides cutting the paper was to tie her ribbon.
Rebecca used the set Ruff Day. She stamped it in black on watercolor paper and colored it in with aqua painter and Creamy Caramel, chocolate chip, certainly celery and bashful blue classic ink. The nose is colored in with journaling marker and finished off with a white gel pen highlight. The designer paper is from the pack Petal Patch. I so hope it will be in the next big idea book and catalog.
Have a great Sunday! We are off to the beach now.

Your design is so inspiring – all the small details are so eye catching – from the paper placements to the colors used – this is the first blog I have ever visited and I am impressed with the amount of information you have shared ~ Thank you
I love Rebecca’s card. I like yours too, but I am particularly fond of hers~LOL! She takes pictures like me. 🙂
Rebecca is for surley a dirty dozen in training! I love it when my girls stamp with me! The mess the two babies make is crazy..BUT they love it..Tyra is 11 and barely lets me cut the paper…SO be thankful for that!!! I think she might start needing her own blog!

Like mother, like daughter.
Tell Rebecca she’ll out-do you one of these days. 🙂
And won’t that make you proud!
I like the card with the cat in the fish bowl. Great colors. Hope the beach was great. Sure is pretty here in PA today.
These are both fabulous! Rebecca did an amazing job, but then she has all that talent in her genes from her momma! 😉
Both cards are beautiful. You can tell your daughter has talent!!!
so neat to see how a card (Julie’s) can be so elegant and then you use the same layout to make it so fun and whimsical….love it!
My favorites right now are the Doodle Sets and Bundle of Joy!
The whole Spring Mini I guess you could say. lol
