Hi
Friends!
It’s
time for the new SC658 sketch at Splitcoaststampers and I just love the sketch that
Carey created for us this week, it is so versatile!
I
have a few new cat stamps from Stampendous® that I have not had a chance to ink
up yet, so I pulled out Curious Feline and paired it with Sunday Sentiments
from Mama Elephant. I decided to color the image based off my sweet "Angel"- this image reminded me of her! She is always by my side when I am stamping or whatever I am doing, so the "Hello Friend" sentiment applies to her as well!
In addition to using the Splitcoaststampers SC658 Sketch for the layout, I am also linking this card to the CAS-ual Fridays #180 “Friendship” Challenge,
the PINSpirational #197 Photo Inspiration Challenge and the Tuesday Throwdown #356 “Anything Goes” Challenge.
If
you have not had a chance to check out the above challenges yet, I hope you
will find the time to do so- as always, gorgeous inspiration from all!
To
create this card:
1).
Ink the Curious Feline (Stampendous®) image with Versafine™ Onyx Black Ink and
stamp onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock.
Color the image with Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Pencils- I used Daffodil
Delight and Old Olive for the eyes, Basic Black for the fur and Whisper White
for the hairs in the ears. I tried to
mimic the fur with the pencil strokes and continued to add layers once I added
water with an AquaPainter™. Once the
image was colored to my satisfaction, I added a bit more color with a Conté ά
Paris Black Pastel Pencil, blending with a paper stump. Fussy-cut the image and set aside.
2).
Layer a piece of Whisper White cardstock onto the Basic Black card base, add a
strip of striped black and white designer paper (from my stash) per the
sketch. Mount the card front onto the
Extra Thick Whisper White card base.
3).
Use the Big Shot™ with the Darice™ Pawprints Embossing Folder to emboss a piece
of Whisper White cardstock. Trim the
panel and mount onto a piece of Basic Black cardstock for the front vertical
panel.
4).
Trim a piece of Certainly Celery designer paper (retired from my massive stash
of paper- lol!), mount onto the Basic Black cardstock and create the second
vertical panel per the sketch. Mount directly
onto the card front.
5).
Add the fussy cut cat image behind the first panel and mount onto the card
front with dimensional foam.
6).
Stamp the sentiment from Sunday Sentiments with Versafine™ Onyx Black Ink and
stamp onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock.
Create the fishtail banner with a Hexagon Punch, layer onto Basic Black
cardstock, and mount onto the card front with dimensional foam.
7).
Use a Spectrum Noir™ Clear Glitter Pen to add shimmer to the eyes and an Extra
Fine Sharpie® White Paint Pen to add highlights. Once the paint has dried, use Glossy Accents™
to fill in the eyes to finish off the card (make sure you allow the Glossy
Accents™ to dry overnight).
