Mama Elephant - The Cat's Meow

One for the cat lovers today, using The Cat's Meow stamp set from Mama Elephant. 

This is a big stamp so I used my Misti to make sure that I got a good inked impression.

No fancy, schmancy colouring, just a bunch of Zig Real Brush Markers.

I fussy cut the cats, plus a few balloons (also from the set) and stuck them to my card base with foam pads.

Nice and simple.....purrrrrrfect.

Warning! More Alcohol Inking on Yupo

Yes!

I am an Alcohol-Ink-a-Holic.

For my card today I used Yupo paper & 4 Alcohol Inks, dripping 1 drop at a time of each colour and then 'puffing' the ink quickly with my Tim Holtz air spritzer. Remember you can just as easily do this by blowing with a straw.

I have some blending solution in a mini-mister, I unscrewed it and used the end of the spray nozzle to drip a tiny drop of the solution randomly and 'puffed' the drips to leave white dotted areas.

When it was all dry I die-cut the word 'happy' from the middle using a die from Mama Elephant and stuck the remaining background onto some white cardstock. I also die-cut the same word from some Funky Foam, stuck the 2 words together using spray adhesive and then stuck the word back into the die-cut space on the background. (Hope that makes sense!)

I love this technique.

To finish I stuck the panel on to my card base, added a few gold glitter sticker dots to embellish and a sentiment from Clearly Besotted's 'Happy Days' stamp set.

I hope I'm not boring you with my latest obsession...lol x

Losing the Plot

I could have sworn but I won’t, wot wiv being a lady n’ all that, that I’d posted this card before but it appears not. Found all these photos on yee olde laptop.

Twas made back in March with a floral stamp set from Mama Elephant called ‘Freestyle Florals’. I stamped lots of the images & embossed with silver pearl Wow embossing powder.

I painted them with Windsor & Newton watercolours & then fussy cut them…

…before adding them to my card and stamping a sentiment from Winnie & Walter.

I’m sure I’m losing the plot, off to quadruple check my blog again…if you’ve seen this card before just smile & wave.

Thank you.
