It Had to be Mew

This is the Valentine's Day card I made for Tim - I'm posting it early because I made it for this week's Mojo Monday 177 sketch challenge, which closes tonight!  This Cat's Pajamas set was perfect since we love cats and puns!


The patterned papers are from Scenic Route and the glittery paper for the heart that Sprinkle is holding is from Making Memories.  The overlapping hearts are chipboard that I painted with acrylic paint and then outlined with Sargent's Gold Liquid Metal.  Sprinkle's collar was screaming for a little bling, so I added three clear rhinestones.

For the inside, I stamped the sentiment and cut the panel out using the same Nestabilities die that I used on the front.  Both panels were airbrushed using Copic markers.  That's about it!  Hope you have a Happy Valentine's Day!

CPS186 - Artichoke

Happy Friday! Do you have big plans for the weekend? It's going to be beautiful here this weekend! 

I created this card as a thank you note for my sister for a gift she recently gave us. The gift was wrapped in white butcher-type paper that she had stamped all over with this artichoke image. I cut a few of the images out and colored them using colored pencils, then cut out some of the artichoke leaves and layered them on the base layer using foam tape to give it some dimension, like a real artichoke. 

I used two different patterned papers, with the side panels cut to fit this week's CPS186 sketch, and topped it all off with a few strips of ScorTape that I then covered with Flower Soft.  Finally, I added some stitch marks around the patterned paper layers to make them stand out more.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great weekend!
