Crafty Individuals - burglar Cats

 Evening everyone!!!

These burglar cats were calling out to me this evening, so made this really quick card.


Stamp the image with black ink, apply clear embossing powder and emboss with a heat gun.


Cut around the image with some scissors. 


Colour the image with pro markers. Use the blender pen to blend the green into the yellow.
I decided there was too much white border around the edge so trimmed it down some more.



I had so much fun creating this background as it's the first time doing an alcohol ink lift. I will do a video on how to do this very soon so do keep an eye on my YouTube Channel.
Add some isopropyl to yupo paper, then apply the alcohol inks. Using a handheld puffer move the ink around the paper. Once its dried add some ink to an applicator and dab it in the areas you desire.
Again wait for it to completely dry.
Dribble some alcohol ink lift along one of the edges and roll it across the paper with brayer. Try not to keep going back and forth with the brayer as it'll start pulling the ink off.
Place your card on the yupo and rub the back evenly to pick the ink up.
As you can see mine has a couple of smears but I'm not too worried as most of it'll be covered up anyway.


Distress the edges with Distress oxide to darken slightly.


Place the cats topper roughly where you want it and draw around with a pencil.


Use a dry brush to apply black gesso to create a feathery border. Think this has to be my new obsession as it sort of looks like torn handmade paper.


Mount the background onto some black card and onto a pre folded card blank.
Then stick the cats in place

  1. Great to see how you made this card Dena, I honestly thought that you'd used a black handmade paper in the background. I love your background and the colours that you've used on the cats, it's a superb card x
