I Love Mew

Hello, everyone! Before I get started, I would like to welcome a new follower - aimeslee - thank you for joining me!

Today I'm sharing a card inspired by My Favorite Things - MFT 2018 Creative Olympics.  I combined two events to make my card.  For Event 1 Stamping Slalom we were to use at least 3 stamp sets.  I used 5, plus dies from 3 sets!  For Event 3 Crafty Biathlon, we were to choose a technique and card type from the list provided.  I chose Emboss Resist for technique and Shaker for card type.

To create the emboss resist background, I stamped and heat-embossed several small images in clear and then used an ink smooshing technique with Distress Inks. After I die-cut the shaker windows, I added some additional heat-embossing in silver to fill in some gaps.  I coloured the kitties to look like my three kitties!
