I'm back to share another of my makes - this time a card using the iconic Laurel Burch Indigo Cats.
I went for a more subdued colour palette today, but one that used the rich golden tones of autumn. Mama and baby cat are coloured with Copic markers and fussy cut. They are popped onto a background made with Distress Oxides spritzed with water. I dipped the mixed media card into the inks trying to get the lightest colours in the centre. Dipping, dabbing and drying in-between colours is the only way to go! When I was satisfied with the coverage, I added some Vintage Photo Distress Oxide around the edges of the card to deepen the border area, then I inked the edges with Ranger black ink. I decided to add some gold paint through the stencil which comes with the Indigo Cat stamp set. The paint didn't show up as well as I wished, so I went around the shapes with a black fine liner pen. I swiped some gold paint along the edges too. I added some sequin waste to the base of the card and popped the cats on foam tape for a little dimension.
That's my last card link up.
Come and take a look at what we got up to!

I love golden yellows and oranges as they are rich, opulent and warm.
