Hi! This card was made for today's Ways to Use It Challenge: Specialty Designer paper...
Last night, around 3AM, Markie woke me up and motioned me to follow him to his room. He shhhhed me when I protested, so I stumbled over the telescope, stepped on Legos, and then arrived at his bed to see Speedy the Cat, asleep, with this stamp between his paws! He was dreaming, because every few seconds he was chattering quietly! (Hey, his eyes were CLOSED and his breathing was steady...I'm not a sleep specialist, but I'm betting he was dreaming! LOL!)
So, of course, I HAD to use this stamp today! LOL!
I have been saving this SMALL scrap of foiled designer paper, for about 7 years...It has a small tear in it, and I have been waiting for the perfect challenge to use it! Well, today's the day! LOL!
I used Woodless Color Pencils and Odorless Mineral Spirits to color in the images. (I stamped 2 of the images, colored, cut and layered them with dimensionals.)

Speedy picked out an adorable stamp and you made a fantastic card with it. I just love the brilliant colors. I think you picked just the right card to use your foil DP on.
