Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am making a fun birthday card with a bunch of cute kitties. The winter has been quite cold, so I thought these sweeties needed some warm sweaters too! I just added a few extra lines with a fine black marker to the stamped images to create that look.
After I made a white card base (which seems to be my favorite color lately!), I cut two layers with different sizes of the Rounded Rectangle Mat dies. The larger one from teal paper (Dots & Stripes Pastels) was mounted to card base with foam tape to create instant dimension. The smaller white mat will be the background for my scene. First, I added extra texture to this piece by running it through the die cutting machine using the beautiful Buffalo Plaid Diagonal die.
After masking of the bottom, I used
some Antique Linnen Distress Oxide for the floor portion of the scene. Then, I
splattered some Salvaged Patina ink on the top part for added interest.
After gluing this piece to the teal mat, I started stamping and cutting all the elements I needed for this card. I selected three cute kitties (Cat Antics and Party Pets), a mailbox (Bighearted Bears) and a letter (Snail Mail).
For the coloring, I went with Copic
markers in red and teal tones. As mentioned before, I added a few lines to
create the ‘sweaters’ for the cats and added white gel pen details to customize
them.
I love the large sentiments from Big Bold Greetings and their matching dies so I stamped the ‘Happy Birthday’ in Versafine Onyx Black ink.
Next, I could create my little scene and add the beautiful sentiment (which consists of several die cut layers glued together to give it that sturdy look). As a final embellishment, I sprinkled a few teal jewels onto the card (Pastel Jewels Mix).
