Cat Lovers Hop: Angel Cat

Hello!

Have you heard? 
It's the Cat Lovers Hop hosted by Janis at Her Peaceful Garden.
This year is the fifth hop and it's a crazy week filled with crafting, commenting and celebrating cats of all sizes. There are fabulous sponsors and prizes to be won, but best of all, friendships to be forged with like minded cat lovers from around the world. Why don't you come and join us?

Here is my fifth card:



It's another Laurel Burch stamp and it looks like I have a lime green and turquoise theme going on this year! I coloured this sweet Angel Cat with Copic markers, adding my usual white dots and highlights. I was intending trying to make a CAS card, but it didn't quite turn out that way. 
I started the background by stamping with the Mini Distresses Tree Poly Plate from Crafty Roo. It's a little like a gelli plate, but with form and texture, I applied Twisted Citron and Peacock Feathers DO inks to the stamp, spritzed with water and stamped to give a lovely, artsy, watercolour tree.
I stamped Angel Cat alongside the tree, placed some gold glitter washi tape and popped the fussy cut coloured cat on foam tape to add some dimension. The halo and stars were coloured with a gold Posca pen. I inked around the background's edges with a Twisted Citron/Peacock Feather mix and doodled a hand drawn border with a fine liner pen. The tree looked like it needed decorating, so I added some tiny, gold coloured crystal gems and some shiny gold sequins. I finished with a gold, heat embossed, wooden star and heart for the top of the tree. The background was matted onto turquoise textured paper and popped onto a 5 x 5 inch card base.



That's all for now!

  16. This is totally gorgeous, Carole!! I am loving everything you have done with these amazing colors. That tree is stunning! I have never heard of a shaped Gelli plate thingy , but I need to look into it. I ADORE that watery look and the gleaming sequin ornaments!!! WOW. Love your coloring and the white highlights on the sweet angel cat! (An image like that is obviously not inspired by any of my little scoundrels!! lol...) The glittery accents make this card super-pretty and festive. Everything is so beautiful.

    Thank you so much for playing along in the #2019CatLoversHop!!

  18. Very cool card, Carole! I am enjoying this colour combo and loving your Laurel Burch kitty stamps! More of your beautiful colouring here as well! I've not heard of a poly plate before but love the outcome! Also love the bling you added to the tree! Also like the doodling around the border and your white accents, which I haven't quite got the hang of yet. Not giving up though! Beautiful work!
