Tiddly Ink Challenge #36, is called Kiss Me, You Fool!!

Sometimes a week just doesn't go the way you so hoped it would.  When I first heard this challenge, I knew I was going to use Tiddly Inks “Sealed with” and I had thought pink.  When I heard kiss, I thought Sealed with a Kiss so that was where I went, I just replaced the paw with lips.  Now that being said, it is really easy to think about how things should come together in your head, but making it happen that way is not always the case.  Wednesday I woke up with no power, no school because of the weather and a horrible sinus infection.  So the week was really not on my side.  It took a while for me to feel well enough to even get to play.  I thought I would try to make it look like a stamp with a square card making little half circles to look like the edge of a stamp, but when I tried to put it in the punch the double up cardstock wouldn’t fit.    Bummer!  Cute thought, not going to work.  I know that you can die cut it into a stamp shape, but I broke the arm right off of my big shot this past week and am waiting for the replacement. (Stampin Up is a really good company, bought it from them, my fault that I broke it, I was pushing it too hard, and they still are replacing it at their expense.)  So that make me go with the simple basics.  I colored the kitty in copic pinks.  Tried to make it seem like spotted/hair because a cat wouldn’t  have smooth looking hair.  I cut the cat out, and popped it up which is hard to tell on the picture.  Trying to get that stamp feeling I then used zig zag scissors (crimping scissors) and cut around the outside of a matt.  I put 2 little red pearls on the top and bottom and just keep it simple this week.  I guess I got the challenge down twice….  After all don’t they say KISS (Keep it simple stupid)  and I did!  Enjoy!
