Happy Birthday Glamour Puss




Now for something different - not a bird in sight. This fabulous cat image is a fabric that my very talented friend Phyllis found - she always manages to spot really neat things. The fabric is WildCat Woman by Loralie. It's simple to use fabric on cards, cut roughly around your cat image, then swipe all over the back with a glue stick, I use the really strong embellishment glue. Stick the fabric onto cardstock, and taking a spatula or craft stick (I use the triangular thingie that comes in the cricut tool kit), smooth all the wrinkles out of the fabric. Leave to dry for at least 4 hours, preferably longer, that way you get a really good bond and the edges don't fray. When dry, cut out the image with a pair of sharp scissors, and use as you would any other image on a card. The paper is by Making Memories, and the sentiment was done on the computer. I added a bit of bling.
I hope you all have a wonderful Easter Day, don't overdose on the choccy. Me? I am still itching. Could I be allergic to chocolate? No, I'll stop eating something sensible like tomatoes for a day or two, see if that makes a difference, that way I can still bite the heads off the bunnies.
