Hey there! Today we are celebrating with a blog hop and giveaway. September’s release features critters enjoying the last days of summertime illustrated by Anita Jeram!! I particularly love the Beach Bunnies and the Kitties, so I’m showing the cats off today and will share more in a few days!!

In this post, I have used affiliate links. When you use my links and accept cookies, I will receive a portion of the purchase price at no additional cost to you. Thank you for your thoughtfulness when shopping and using artists’ links. They help us bring content to you without charge!

I made a fun project with an inky background using Drive-In, Aquatini and Fiesta Blue Inks from Catherine Pooler over some heat embossed images of sea life!!!

I added some water droplets to the CP’s reactive ink.

After that, I trimmed the edges with the Tim Holtz Guillotine Trimmer and popped up the panel over an A2-sized card base with foam tape.

Then, I stamped, die cut and colored in the kitties from the "Beach Escape” stamps and coordinating dies. I used Copic colors E55 & BG57 to color them in.

Next, I fussy cut the sentiment strip after stamping it in Concord & 9th Black Ink. Then, I popped everything up over the front of the panel with foam tape.

Finally, I added some Boiled Sugar Drops with Artis Liquid Glue from Scrapbook dot com.
