Ink On His Paws....For The Birthday Boy...

... tis a special day today... oh yesh indeedily, today is the birthday of the love of my life and very best friend... Grim. And... in time honoured tradition, I opted to buy a card (I know, I know but... I liked the words on the card I got him.... do forgive me? lol) So... AlfieCat tells me he wants to get inky and make a card for his Daddy... you see, usually, it is the other way around, Alfie sneaks off into town clutching my Visa card and buys up all manner of what-have-you for his Daddy, whilst I sit at home, pulling my hair out because I can't get the card I am making to be special enough for Grim. Anyways... I hid the Visa card this year and Alfie decided he wanted to go all Blue Peter on me and make his own card.


Talk about making a mess!! My nice, clean, tidy and organised Room of Stash ended up looking like a bomb had gone off! Cats, my friends, do not clean up after themselves...fact! Anyways... AlfieCat has spied new things arriving in the Room of Stash and, as everyone knows, it is his job to personally sniff every single new article that arrives Chez Sheridan. And... he has sniffed the Distress Stains... and got all excited... so I let him loose... and these here pics are the card that he made. I actually did help him a little bit - his opposable thumb thing is a bit of a hinderance for him - he does find it hard to hold the heatgun in his little paws. But... he toiled away, vigilantly even.. until he had finished his masterpiece.



The colours are appropriate... Grim's "team" is Luton Town FC, their colours are orange, black and white... and AlfieCat is, of course, black and white... so naturally, Alfie immediately pounced on the Picket Fence Stain... and the Black Soot (yes, the one I said I would NEVER get as I wouldn't use it *ahem*) and Wild Honey (the Spiced Marmalade hadn't arrived at that point) He used some Idea-ology, some Alterations - which BTW, cooooolio idea, using the mini Label over the fancy Ornate Plate dies... coolio indeed (I am so gonna steal this idea) ... where was I? Oh yes, and he used some Tim stamps, although I did have to help him with this as his little paws just aren't quite strong enough to hold the acrylic block in place....




Right... that's it from me for now... there's a very strange looking van just turned up and it has square wheels and loads of blokes are getting out and they have white coats on.... mmmm, very strange indeedily, methinks me needs to hide for a while...... TTFN!
