I took a bit of a break from designing stamps this past year. I was illustrating here and there but decided to focus on card making for a while. This month’s KOM is the first time I’ve created a bunch of things all at one time. I’m pretty tickled with how they came out and am feeling inspired to do more. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Look for more stamps designed by me this coming year.

Inky Hearts

This kitty had to be inked up first and he needed a soft and sweet background. This card incorporates all basic techniques that come together beautifully.

Growing up I had a Siamese kitty. I was also probably reading Little Women at the time because I named him Milky Jo since he was white and Jo was my favorite character from the book. Anyhoo, he was the inspiration for this stamp and his coloring.
