Hello again! I’m back with a humorous card for the Cat Lovers Hop.
A few months back our whole family went on a diet and each successfully shed scores of pounds. However, my folks recently hit a plateau. To congratulate them on their accomplishment, and encourage them to keep up the good work with some humor, I send them this fun card:
I think these two cats are safe, don’t you?!! I love how shiny the Brilliance ink is when stamping with it! To help it stand out, I just lightly colored the kitties with some chalks:
The Liquid Pearls make the chocolate look almost edible (if slightly melted)… Gotta love those fun Technique Tuesday Sassy sentiments! : )
Of course, I was so excited to send it to them, I was already writing in it when I remembered to take a pic… just ignore my scribbling (thx)!
I love that stamped sentiment: Did you ever notice there are no recipes for leftover chocolate?! So true! (and you notice the chocolate is gone except for the wrapper and a couple of crumbs)
On the back, there’s a little pocket for a gift card for them to get some new ‘skinny’ clothes:
Supplies:
- Penny Black: 9 Lives stamp set
- Technique Tuesday: Sassy Bday & Sassy Hangry
- Spellbinders: Labels 40 Decorative Accents dies
- Justrite dies: Filigree Corners
- Recollections white cardstock
- Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black & Rich Cocoa dye inks
- Tsukineko Brilliance Coffee Bean & Pearlescent Rust pigment inks
- Art Performance markers
- Pebbles, Inc. Pearlescent Chalks – Jewel Tones
- Ranger Liquid Pearls: Dark Chocolate
- Ranger Stickles: Joyful
- Tonic Studios Nuvo Crystal Drops: Gloss Carnation Pink
- Simply Defined Stay-Put glue

Those fat chocolate-loving kitty cat(s) are so cute. How do you use “Kitty Cat” when there are two of them????? (sigh) Too much brain power required to figure it out!! lol…. What a lovely and fun way to celebrate the weight loss of your loved ones. Your card is adorable. I love the liquid pearls and glitter. Oh, and that ink is amazingly brilliant. Looks great with the chalking. Beautiful work, as always!!
Thanks so much for being a part of the 2018 Cat Lovers Hop!!!

Love, love, love your card! I think it is so awesome and it made me laugh! I’ve lost about 95 lbs. over the last year and a half, so it really touched me. I love the sentiments especially and the Penny Black kitty cats are always special. I have so many of her images, because I really love that cat. Our last cat “Boo” was originally 23 lbs. and always reminded me of the Penny Black kitty cat.
LOL!
Great card and design!
