Triple Threat Treat -SOS #58 - plus a feline SOS

This week's Shopping our Stash challenge is to use at least three items from the following list:


ribbon, flowers, lace, pearls, glimmer mists, punched elements or die cut elements, rhinestones, doilies (stamped will work, too), dry embossing or scoring -OR- use three of one type of embellishment.


So I dutifully wrote down this list, mulled it over, and then spilled something on it at some point and blurred out bits. I figured that was nature's way of narrowing it down for me...

Supplies: papers from Basic Grey "Out of Print;"
flower stamp from Stampin' Up;
Versamark & white EP;
Paper Smooches sentiment;
Tsukineko Pssst glimmer spray;
Worn Lipstick distress ink

The diamond pattern & polka dot layer are each adhered using a layer
of foam tape for dimension

It's hard to see, but I added the glimmer mist by painting it onto the flower & underneath
the cut edge of the diamond pattern paper. Super shimmery IRL, of course!

I had already made the card, using embossing (wet), and thought before photographing it I'd better check that I had 3 items off the actual non-blurry list...whoops! The glimmer mist was a last-minute choice, but using the paint brush to dab it on gave the crazy layering more definition & more sparkle is always a good thing in my opinion. So, the three things I ended up using from the list were: rhinestones, glimmer mist, and a flower. This challenge is open until Monday night, so you have lots of time to play.

Now for fun I've got some pictures from the last couple of days for you - first a few from my garden that I can't believe I took - they turned out really nice. Heck, I can't believe I haven't killed these peony bushes yet...

And next, pictures from bathing one of the cats. The first two cats just went into some sort of distant space, tuned out, and peed in the tub. This one, she was in hell, and she was bringing me with her:

Yep, actual bleeding and puncture wounds. Not to mention that she sunk her teeth not into just one, but both breasts...this was while I had her by the scruff, or so I thought. 

The adventures, they never end. The plumbers were back for the sewage again too, by the way. They're finishing up a big job before they get to us - at least this time I caught it backing up just before it spilled over. I definitely have poop PTSD. It's never going to be gone. 

Well, on that cheery note! lol
