* Cat Lovers Hop: Les Chats

I am having trouble with Blogger. 
I'm sorry, but I cannot comment on blogs that only allow Google account users to leave comments without moderation. I have no idea why and any suggestions are most welcome!

Hello!

It's Day 5 of the Cat Lovers' Blog Hop. Have you visited Janis's blog yet?  There's lots going on including giveaways, games and crafting ideas! Pop over and take a look!

 I'm back to share another of my makes - this time a couple of cards using a digital image set called Les Chats from one of my favourite digi stores - Vera Lane Studio.



There are many things I like about digi stamps:
* They are easy to store on your computer and don't take up physical space.
* They can be resized to fit any project.
* They can be digitally coloured and saved for use again and again.
* They can be flipped, reversed or inverted to give a different look.
* They are relatively cheap, compared to rubber stamps.
* They don't need cleaning and no inky fingers.
* They don't get damaged or wear out.

I love the quirky, whimsical characters who live on Vera Lane. I also like that most of them have a name. For today's cards I used Luce and Franoise from Les Chats.

Here is Luce:



Hehehe - I loved Blair and Remi's blue cats, so I thought I'd create my own! I coloured her with Copics and gave her some white Posca pen highlights. She is on a background made by smooshing the card (with the edges masked off) in Distress Oxides and water. I popped some torn washi tape onto the background to ground Luce, stamped the sentiment and added some white mulberry flowers. Done!

Here is Franoise:
