My Big Grumpy Cat

 Hey Everybody,

Have you ever made a card that tickled your funny bone? Well the card I made for today was just that kind of card.

F4A800 Bring on the Snark 6.20.25 by nwilliams6 at Splitcoaststampers

Snarky is the name of the game for today's challenge.

Keywords: F4A800 snarky cat

Stamps: Taylored Expressions-Big Grumpy Cat

Paper: white, pecan pie, Thoughtful Journey designer series paper-Stampin' Up!©

Paper Size: A2

Ink: memento tuxedo black

Accessories: SU Timber 3D embossing folder, dimensionals, Copic Markers, Graph-O black marker

Techniques: coloring, dry embossing, paper strip background

I stamped, and die cut my kitty. I colored him with Copic markers and added my Graph-O black marker for his nose. I used 1/2" designer series paper strips diagonally on white cardstock for a background for the kitty.

I then embossed the card base with a wood grain texture to go along with his sign. This sentiment is one of 5 or 6 in this stamp set that made me laugh. Great challenge, Nancy!  

I did a second card for this challenge because I had so much fun with the first one. Here it is.

Dini's challenge to us can be found here. MIX647 Look, Up In The Sky! (6/20/25) by dini at Splitcoaststampers

Things found in the sky is the challenge. I also wanted to add another card for the snarky challenge today.

I used the paint splatter stencil with mango melody and mint macaron inks and blending brushes. I added frostbite astro pasted to the inked panel to get texture and sparkle. I stamped, masked and colored the birds with Copic Markers. I backed all of the white panels with night of navy cardstock. My background paper is one of my favorite plaids from Lawn Fawn plaid pack of designer paper.

I added the sentiment from Art Impressions at the bottom with dimensionals.
