Greetings friends. My cards today focus on the new Looking Forward clear stamp set: I am such a sucker for cute characters to color. For the first card, I had to use the cat stamp. I often cat sit, so I like having cat card ideas to create for the holidays.

To make the card, I stamped my sentiment on a tag and my cat image on some Copic white cardstock. Once I colored the kitty, I cut him out and added him to the side of the tag as if he was peeking out.

For my second card, I used one of the rays dies to add a bit of interest and to frame my moose cartoon image. I tried coloring the circles with two colors of brown Copic marker to create a striped look, but as the ink dried, it looked like I used only one color of brown. I might go back some point to add more color, but I am afraid I might mess things up. Do you do that? Do you ever take your cards one step too far and wish you hadn't?

I once again colored my image with Copic markers, but this time I had the moose peeking out from the side of the card.
