To create this card, I took white cardstock and transformed it into an invitation sized card. I trimmed and folded accordingly. I rounded all four corners using my EK Success corner rounder. Next, I added a sticker at the top from SRM Press.
Next I added some retro patterned paper that I love! I added a small strip of black cardstock at the top of the patterned paper. Using my Mini Misti and a stamp I bought at a craft show (Jean Arneson? 2013?). a few years ago I stamped in black ink onto white cardstock. Using my Copic Markers I colored the image using colors that coordinated with my patterned paper. Using Pop Dots I added this image to the card. Then I restamped the image and cut off the cat's tail section and added that atop the original image for added dimension. Again I used a Pop Dot.
I added a sentiment sticker from SRM, and two gems. Then I added a small strip of black cardstock near the bottom and added a SRM rickrack style sticker. Finally, I added a sticker from SRM matching the one at the top of the card.
I love how vivid this card turned out! Happy Halloween!

ReplyDeleteChristine, what a fun, pampered black cat you have showcased to her magnificence... She might be showing off her owner's potion books, but I think she is very happy soaking up the love and attention. Such a sweet and colorful card!! Well done... :)
