Welcome
One of these days life will slow down a bit and I will be able to blog more than once a week!
Not quite sure when though, the way things are going!
I would like to welcome Susi from Austria as a new follower - she has a wonderful blog here. I have followed her for some time now, and find her work is inspirational
Love the way this card turned out - it is for a 10 year old boy
It started with a piece of a masterboard I created last year. I had fun creating it, but cannot remember which products I used as I made three at the time, and used all sorts of everything as I was having such fun!

The sentiment was a magazine freebie, embossed in white over plain grey paper, and layered over a snippet of white card
I know I used a stencil to get the fleur de lis design just visible above, the shimmer is from a mica based spray...
The cat is a Tim Holtz Crazy Cat stamp, stamped onto some plain dark grey paper, and the white painted with acrylic. It was cut with the matching die. The spilt milk I drew freehand and tucked it in behind the bottle.
The cats eyes and the bottle were coated with glossy accents.
I used the same stamp using the 'off the page' technique, in London Fog ink, to decorate the inside

Maxine, I love your background!!! I don't know about you, but I have lots of days where I just play with products and make up a ton of backgrounds to use on cards later. And if you are like me, you have a basket full of them still! LOL I use them, but never as fast as I make them!!! Thank you so much for sharing this sweet birthday card at Jan's Digi Stamps Challenge!

As soon as I saw this card I knew it had to be a Tim Holtz 'crazy' stamp. I have the birds. They are such fun but I can't justify buying a second set right now. I like the spilt milk. A perfect way to complete the image. Kate x
A wonderful card with an amazing background!

Fun card Maxine! The little boy is going to love it! Great background with the layers of inks, stenciling, stamping, etc. It's beautiful with the shimmer of the mica powders. And such a great combination of colours too! Love the crazy cat! Great work with adding the spilt milk! xx
What a fun and very cool birthday card Maxine! I love that background you created and the colors you used. I love the whole color combo of this card. The cat cracks me up, his expression is funny-he doesn't want whomever is standing there to take his spilled milk away from him and he is looking a little guilty for spilling it. lol Love the milk and spilled milk. This card is adorable and I'm sure the 10 year old boy will love it too. Hugs, Brenda
Your masterboard looks great and no matter how you created it as long as you had fun - that's all that matters. Your card turned out great too, such fun.
Thanks for sharing with us at Penny Black & More challenge.

Love the crazy cats and have used my set such a lot but I have never got such a wonderful piece of masking as you have. The way you have got the cat's paw on the milk bottle is fantastic - very good masking indeed. Shows talent!
Blessings, Neet xx
ps i love the card, great background, got so carried away with your masking I forgot to say.
This is perfect for a 10 year old child! That kitty has a fabulously guilty look about him! :) Your background is wonderful with the mica spays! Thanks so much for playing with us at Ike's World Challenges this month! Nan ~ DT for Ike's World Challenges
