Personally I am far more of a dog person than a cat lover but the Visible Image Curious Cats stamp set is a purr-fect addition to my stash for making cards for my many cat loving friends. Those eyes are just incredible!
I began by stamping and embossing the face on a square piece of watercolour card.
I used drawing gum to cover the areas I would later be colouring, and allowed to dry .
Once the gum was dry I coloured the card by laying Distress Oxide ink on my craft mat, spritzing with water and dabbing the card into it until I was happy with the coverage. I repeated this in the same colours on a larger square of card.
Once dry I used watercolour paint to colour the eyes and nose. Using a water brush I added oxide brush strokes from the nose to represent fur. Some white highlights with a gel pen helped to make thoos whiskers pop. I also stamped the sentiment on this section.
On the bottom of the larger card I stamped and embossed the small cats and cut the Framed Fibres layering die in brown. I cut sections from this to place either side of my main image to add some texture and detail. I mounted the squares in the same colour card to tie the whole thing together.
