Purrfect Together!

May 19, 2017

Hi there, friends, and Happy Friday!  Have you linked up your entry for this month’s Watercolor challenge?   You still have some time to enter – for all the details, click the link below!

For my card, I combined two purr-fectly adorable cat stamp sets – one from Hero Arts and one from this month’s sponsor, Honey Bee Stamps.   They work together beautifully!  First I used a heart stencil I found in my stash as a mask, and sponged on some Distress Inks  in shades of pink.   I flicked some water and some concentrated Distress Ink onto the heart for some added interest.   When I removed the mask, I was left with the empty space in which to create my scene.

 I stamped the kitties and their fish bowl using the Honey Bee stamp set and colored them in with watercolor markers.    I stamped the sentiment, from Hero Arts, just below my scene.   I finished the main portion of the card by cutting the heart out.

To create the cool background, I embossed a Hero Arts stencil by running it through my Vagabond with the appropriate sandwich.   I love how this turned out!    I added a few sequins from Honey Bee and Pretty Pink Posh to finish off my card.

Hope you’ve enjoyed my card today – I can’t wait to see what you create for our challenge!

    Really cute card! Of course, I think anything with kitties is cute. 🙂 Love the coloring on the images, and the embossed background! 🙂 ~ Andrea
