Sister Stamps July Release -- Otsu

Hi!  Hope you are enjoying these previews of Sister Stamps July release.  I don't usually color animals so it was a Copic challenge for me.  It was fun to experiment if I should color pet fur like people hair.  Still need lots of practice for animal fur.

Today I thought I'd share my project of Otsu, the only cat in this release.

Sorry, the photo might be a bit dark.  I didn't want the glare from the plastic to blind you.  I have a friend who recently had a 3rd baby and so is again experiencing sleep deprivation.  I've read a couple instances on her FB page that with her lack of sleep she has almost confused cereal with the cat's food.  So when I saw Otsu, she reminded me of my sleepy friend.  I made a clip so she could stick it on the cat food box or bag.

See, like this.  Pretend the cookies are cat treats.  I had to improvise.  It's a clothes pin. 

I took apart the clothes pin and glued some pretty paper scraps on it and put it back together.  And I used some really super duper old sticky sheets for some no heat lamination.

I also wanted to share the card my youngest one made.  He also gets super excited when I get packages of stamps.  He loves to look through them and pick his favorite, and Otsu was his favorite and he made a card before I did.

This is his card with Otsu dreaming of her Xmas presents!  See her dream bubble?  And he drew the tree behind the present that comes with Otsu too.  And then he made me search for a Merry Christmas sentiment.  He wanted one that said Merry Christmas, Cat.  He had to write in Cat himself.

Be sure to stop by these blogs as well.  I'm sure you'll see lots more cute stuff!
