* Cat Lovers Hop: Victorian Cat Humour

 

Hello

If you are looking for my 
Gecko Galz Blog Hop post
 and free digital collage sheet
 it is HERE - have fun!

Welcome to the Cat Lovers Hop 2022.

Another big hello to all my furry, feline-loving friends!

The Cat Lovers Hop, for those that don't know, is a fantastic annual event, hosted by the lovely Janis over on her blog, Her Peaceful Garden
This is its eighth year and an awful lot of work goes into its planning and preparation. The community of cat loving crafters is one of the best I have come across and I look forward to this event all year long.

If you like cats pop over and have a look at the fun games and awesome prizes that Janis has organised for the next few days. 

You'll find the link up and all the beautiful projects here. 
If you enter, make sure you sign up here to be eligible for prizes.

***
I have made a separate post just for the Cat Lover's Hop, using my mixed media  Gecko Galz Blog Hop projects. My free collage sheet in the Blog Hop is a kitty cat one, so please follow the link at the top of this page to collect it.

I made 4 snarky, dressed Victorian cat panels which will most likely go into a journal:





I fussy cut the cat images and inked around the cut edges. 
I made Oxide blended backgrounds and added a burst mica sprays and some white paint splatters. I stamped in tone on tone inks and in black around the edges of each background using AALL & Create background stamps. The sentiments are Tim Holtz Snarky stickers.


That's all for now.
Thanks for stopping by today.
xoxo

  15. These are hilarious, Carole! Those sentiments cracked me up - and they work so purr-fectly with the vintage kitties! Your backgrounds are always amazing! Wow, this is such a fabulous set of cards - I love them all! I don't think I could give these away - I think I would frame them to make me giggle each day! And, yes, I still need to get around to the Gecko Galz hop too!

    I also wanted to thank you for the sweet comments on my blog, especially on Brian's cards. Everyone's kind words have boosted his confidence. He knows he has a brain injury from his stroke and he wasn't sure he could do it. I was hoping for one card and he surprised me by colouring enough for 5 cards! He was able to make all of the design choices himself, with no input from me, and I think he even surprised himself that he hasn't lost his creativity! Thank you for your encouragement and compassion!

  16. I just noticed you said you might put them in your journal - I think on the wall would be better - I would be cracking up every time I saw them!
