Cat Lovers Hop: Holly 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 fourth card:

I love Laurel Burch images! I'm a big fan of colour - the brighter, the better in my book, so Laurel Burch images are purr-fect for me! Holly Cat was the prize that I won in the 2018 Cat Lovers Hop and I have kept it in its packaging until now. 
I used to have a cat named Holly - a sweet natured, tuxedo that we adopted as a tiny kitten. She lived happily for 18 years and loved to travel in the car when we went to visit friends for the weekend. 



I coloured the image with Copic markers and added some white highlights and dots with a white Posca paint pen. I made the plaid-like background by brayering Twisted Citron and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxides horizontally and vertically onto 300 gsm card. The card edges were inked with Peacock Feathers and then black archival ink.
I fussy cut around the frame of the image and popped it on foam tape for dimension. I stamped the sentiment (free with a magazine last year) onto white card, inked the edges with Peacock Feathers and glued it directly onto the background. 



Please bear with me, Cat Lovers - I am such a slow commenter. I'm only half way through at the moment, but promise I'll get to all your posts before the end of the hop!

That's all for now!
