Background Basics 2 Card with Amanda

Hello there, crafters, Amanda here! I hope your week is off to a great start! Today, I am sharing a cute little kitty card I created for a special birthday!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Background Basics 2 Focused Birthday Card by Amanda Fitterer (featuring Party Pets, Sprawling Surfaces, Fancy Frame Rectangle Dies, Moroccan Circles Embossing Folder)

This card has quite a few layers, so let me explain how I created each one! First, I used the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies and cut both of the larger frames. I only used the outside layer of each cutout and saved the inside frames for another card. Next, I ran a piece of mint paper through my die-cutting machine with the Morrocan Circles Embossing Folder

Then, I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 2.75” x 4” for my background panel. On this panel, I masked off the bottom portion with some tape. I ink blended Catherine Pooler's Hot Tub ink on the entire area. Then, I stamped the Background Basics 2 Stamps with Catherine Pooler’s Sea Glass ink.

I masked off the top portion of the panel and then stamped the wood floor image from the Sprawing Surfaces Stamps. I colored the floor with E21, E23, and E25 Copic markers.

Now, with all those layers complete, we can assemble the card! I glued the mint panel to an A2 card base. Then, I added the outside frame, adhering it with thin foam tape. Then, I glued the background panel to the center of the card. And finally, I used more thin foam tape to adhere the inner frame to the card.

Now, we can move on to the main event: the kitties! I stamped the cats, accessories, and sentiment from the Party Pets Stamps with black ink. Then, I colored them in with Copic markers.

Here are the marker colors I used:
Cats: W8, YR24, YR27, N0, N1, N8, N9, R22, R30
Green Areas: YG000, YG00, YG01, YG03, YG05
Blue/Green Areas: BG 11, BG13, BG32
Pink Areas: RV10, RV21, RV23, RV25, R00, R20, R22


I die cut the images and sentiment out with the 
coordinating die set. I added them to the card using foam squares. To add a little bit of detail, I added 3 Iridescent Clear Jewels.

The card is finished!  I love how the layers make this card unique and eye-catching! Thanks for stopping by the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today! Come back tomorrow for more inspiration!
