SWEET SUNDAY CAT TAILS
I've seen other stampers make cat tails with the Horizontal Slot Punch and Inspired by Nature grass image, and knew I had to try it! Living in the Arizona desert for the past 25 years, it's been a long time since I've seen real cat tails. I used Sweet Sunday Sketch #43to make this masculine card for John's uncle who is in the hospital. The sun/moon was created using the Reverse Masking Technique ... punch a 1 3/4" circle out of a scratch piece of cardstock and use the negative as a template to sponge the inside of the circle with More Mustard ink.
