Sugarcoated Knut!!!

I've had a lot of fun playing with the Cat's Pajamas stamps this week!! As you know, I was able to purchase the Clearly Swanky Stamp Sets last weekend and they are just a hoot!! Love those penguins and Poochie and Sprinkle, but today I'm sharing my pal Knut!! I'm not sure if he's supposed to be the same polar bear named Knut that hangs out with Leonardo, talking about global warming and such, but he's just as cute!!! And of course, if you can't find the Cat's Pajamas stamps near you, just email Nancy at Stamp Art and she can mail you out some!!! The clear stamps are great because they are flat and light and cost very little to mail!! Tell her Kimmie sent ya over!!

This is a card I designed for my Christmas Card orders and I've already received an order for a set of them! I used my Archival Versafine Black Onyx Ink, which is PERFECT for using with clear stamps and I stamped him on Shimmery White paper. I used my SU markers and my Aquapainter to paint him and matted him on Bashful Blue and Certainly Celery. The card base is Whisper White with a layer of Bashful Blue which I ran through my Cuttlebug with the Snowflake embossing folder. Then I punched out the photo corners and a couple of Martha Stewart snowflakes using my white Sugarcoated cardstock. I got it, along with several other colours at my local sb store, but it doesn't have a company name on it so I don't know who makes it. I'll try to find out. But some people have asked what it is exactly.....it's cardstock that is totally glittery!! So of course, I HAD to have it!! The white is perfect for snowflakes as you can see!!

****Don't forget!! You only have a couple of days left to enter my contest to win some awesome Pink Cat Studio stamps!!! I've received a bunch of entries over the weekend and there is still time!!! So get stampin'!!!
