Following the directions on the back of the package, I stamped the images onto Art Impressions Twist Ties Card. These are really helpful to have on hand as they are precut to size and come with envelopes too. I colored the cats with my alcohol markers (listed below). Truth be known, I was very anxious about coloring cats! I'm somewhat allergic and haven't payed attention to other crafters and their cat coloring. So I Googled "cartoon cat colors" and got a lot of good ideas of colors to use. Try it! I've done this with other critters in the past and it's really helpful.
Here are the views as the card is opened:

For the inside, I put a piece of card stock inside, under the closed card and used a pencil to lightly trace as much of the heart shape as I could. I took out the card and free-hand drew the rest of the heart and cut it out. I then used Distress Inks to shade and color the heart. I then adhered it down, centered behind the die cut portion on the front. The sentiment is so cute and is included in the set.
Thank you so much for taking a look! I hope you'll join in the challenge to use that washi tape we know you have! :)

ReplyDeleteI {think} I understand how this works, but I'm not for sure, Carol! What I do understand is that you are a great cat colorist and an especially great card designer! The colors, message, and fun fold of this card are awesome!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteCute card and great design. I'm allergic to cats too. So I'm more likely to send a dog card then a Cat card!
