I started with the background by white heat-embossing several of the smaller images from this set: the food dish, mouse, fish, hearts, paw print, and ball of yarn. I used the watercolour smooshing technique with Peacock Feathers, Mowed Lawn, and Wilted Violet Distress Inks. This is such a fun technique, and I love how it turned out!
I added some left-over glitter cardstock scraps (DCWV) to the right edge (I like the scalloped edge of the silver one - it was the leftover negative from Waltzingmouse Stitched Scalloped Rectangles). I coloured the adorable kitty with watercolor markers and fussy-cut so I could pop him up with foam tape. I die-cut a small notebook page (Taylored Expressions) from striped vellum and stamped the sentiment in black. I finished off the card by adding a crystal paw print and several coordinating sequins.

ReplyDeleteDear Miss Kitty...
ReplyDeleteYou turned out to be my 250th Follower, and I am so excited. Blogger took away a bunch of my followers over a period of time as they did to lots of other people which upset me terribly because I had made a little gift for my 250th. Before I could look into who it was, that person disappeared. Since then I have been waiting for #250 to roll around again. Well, cutie pie, you are it, and I cannot wait to send you your little present. My email is genier39atgmaildotcom. Please drop me a note with your mailing address, and I will get it into the mail. Am going upstairs now to wrap it. Again, thanks so much for being a follower. Genie
Purr fect.. LOL Super cute images and great card. Thank you for sharing your creative project with us at the Vintage Stamping challenge.
