Me time

Hello everyone, 

Happy New Year ! It is the first of January today so that means the start of the new year but also the start of a new challenge over at Country View Challenges. Evelyn chose the theme this time and she picked 'Clocks/time'. For the first project I have made a postcard. 


Here's how:


First I heat embossed the card panel. I used white embossing powder and a big background stamp by Katzelkraft. 


I then used Distress Oxide inks Picked Raspberry and Mustard Seed to colour the panel. I used a blending tool. I also went around the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Oxide. 


Next I stamped one of the cats of this Katzelkraft set.


and the sentiment which is a very old stamp by Visible Image. 


To stamp the sentiment I used Versafine Clair ink in Summertime, Charming Pink and Cheerfull.




Here it is all put together. 

I used some washi tape to the cat on and some in the right hand top corner. I added splatters with Distress Oxide ink and water (Walnut Stain) and went around the wordstrips with a black pen.

We would love for you to play along with us but make sure to read the RULES

I'll be back soon with more inspiration!

  5. This cracks me up, Corrie - the expression on the cat's face is exactly how I feel at this time of the year, and the sentiment speaks to that just perfectly. Loving the busyness of the backgrounds - it's so expressive coupled with the sentiment!
