Good Day to You All
Can you believe that it's August already!
I think you will be seeing that a lot more on my cards. This piccy also gives you a close-up of how the stitching looks and that cute little paw charm.
Here is a final picture of the inside of the card:
As always there is no verse in there yet - I always do that at a later date so I can personalise it to the person who I am sending this card too.
I will be entering this card in the following challenges:
Just Magnolia & hAnglar & sTanglar Challenge - Week 117 - Buttons, Bows & Blooms
Stamptacular Sunday - Challenge #122 - Friends are Heaven Sent
Sunday Sketch & Stamp - Challenge #66 - Sam's Sketch
So enough ramblings from me today - I'm going off on holiday for a few days now so I will look forward to catching up with you all when I get back at the weekend.
Enjoy your week and thank you all for your lovely comments.
See ya.
Can you believe that it's August already!
Today I would like to share with you a card that I have made with a lovely Just Magnolia stamp called "Tilda with Cat".
Now just how cute is that cat? As you may have gathered, my little feline friend is our Winston (piccy in my side-bar), who doesn't lavish me with love, but comes and gives me the odd face rub every now and again, particular when he wants something to eat.
I have poked holes all around the edges of the layers and then joined them up with a grey fine-liner pen to create a faux stitched effect - I am completely useless with a sewing machine and I just can't build up the courage to have a bash as I fear my project would be ruined!
The recipe for the card is as follows:
Stamp: Just Magnolia "Tilda with Cat"
Papers: Memory Box "Jubilee"
Coloured Card: Core-dinations from Crafters Companion
Buttons: Cheery Lynn Designs Buttons #1 from Dies to Die For
Papers Outlined With Distress Inks: Tumbled Glass and Old Paper
Flowers: Roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the others are from my stash
Image has been coloured with Copics:
Skin: E21 E00 E000 E0000 R20 R30
Hair: E29 E27 E25 E23
Jumper & Socks: B00 B000 B0000
Skirt & Shoes: YG11
Cute Cat: N5 N3 N2 N1 N0 R20 R30
Shading: W5 W3 W1
Outline: B000 B0000
I've also discovered myself a new technique to get the ribbon to blend in with the card by edging it with distress ink:
