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.
Thanks for stopping by today.
