Hello Everyone!!

Yet again I've been neglecting my blog. We've got rather allot going on at the moment as we're hoping to move very soon so have been busy sorting the house out as well as creating design team pieces and trying to keep my little shop going. I will try to post every now and again but have several posts ready to be edited that I hope to publish very soon.

Visible Image fun cats card

Hi Everyone!!

I've made so many cards recently but keep forgetting to take step by step photos, well I finally remembered on this one.

This card was made with the new stamps from Visible Image. I was so lucky and won the entire collection of new stamps and stencils

Stamp the cats and sentiment with black ink and emboss with clear embossing powder.

Apply some masking fluid to the cats with a synthetic brush and start creating your background by applying distress ink with a soft blending brush.

Apply some twisted citron and candied apple ink through the breakout stencil. Using the halftone stencil fill in the blank areas.

Using a glue remover - carefully rub the masking fluid off the cats.

Colour the cats - for this card I used spectrum noir blending pencils.

Apply a darker brown tone around the cats to create a shadow and help them stand out slightly from the background.

Stamp some paw prints around the edge.

Then stamp the textured stamp from the set 'music on world off' around the edge.

Mount onto a pre-folded 5 x 7 card blank.

Thank you for joining me!
