Bloggers Challenge - Ruff Day and a KSS Memorial Day Sale!

Happy Bloggers Challenge Friday!  Thanks so much to those who played along with last weeks Inspiration Challenge, it's always fun to how a photo inspires other people.  This weeks challenge is Pets, create a card or project featuring a "pet" image or photo.   Okay, so I jumped the gun this week and posted next weeks challenge for you all! Can't blame a girl for wanting to be a head of the game!  This weeks challenge is to MAKE IT SHIMMER!  I'll be back with an updated version of today's challenge card in a bit!  (PS - my Candi Fix faux brads shimmer, if that counts for anything)

Before I share my challenge card, I wanted to let you know that Kitchen Sink Stamps is having a Memorial Day Moving Sale! Click here (discount will automatically be applied to your cart when you click my link) to save 25% on all product in stock , you'll also receive FREE SHIPPING with a $50 order! HURRY! Sale runs Friday May 27th - Monday May 30th (midnight PST).  If your new to Kitchen Sink Stamps, you can browse my KSS YouTube Videos to better understand how to use them.

I rummaged through my stamps looking for a "pet" image and also something to go along with this weeks Kraft Journal Challenge - CAS.  YIKES! CAS is surely not my thing, but I've been enjoying the Kraft Journal Challenge and gave it a whirl!   It took everything I had not to add some sponging or distressed edges to my card!

The image and sentiment are both from Kitchen Sink Stamps Multi Step Kittens and Pup set.  If you enlarge the card, you'll see I used my Scor-Pal to add some diagonal embossed lines to the Kraft panel. The Scor-Pal makes it so easy to do this, so I figured I could still squeeze it in under CAS.

ETA - a project that SHIMMERS.....More Kitchen Sink Stamps, this time they do follow the challenge to MAKE IT SHIMMER!  The Big and Bold Swashes are done using the Pearl Ex Gloss Technique, I also used the them to help tie the wonderful 3 Step Bells.  The sentiment is from Words of Comfort and Joy.
