I'm so glad that we're having our "All About Occasions" challenge this week. It gave me the perfect opportunity to use Gina Marie's wonderful layered stamping set, Tabby Cat. I thought it would be fun used for an anniversary card.
What I love best about this stamp set is that with each layer stamped, more detail appears in the image until, when one is finished, it looks absolutely realistic. Isn't that a wonderfully stamped tabby cat? I love it! I chose to use a base of Heavy Very Vanilla and then added a layer of Poppy Parade. On top of that I added a retired piece of the Naturals Ivory cardstock (love those little flecks in it, don't you?) But first I ran that cardstock through the lovely Basket Weave Dynamic embossing folder.
Then I cut out a heart from a piece of Poppy Parade cardstock, using Sunshine Wishes Thinlits. The red really showed off the cat well, didn't it? To anchor my cat, I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and then cut it out using one of my stitched rectangle dies. and then had the cat sitting on it.
I hope you'll check out the awesome creations by the other Watercooler Artists over at our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge blog.
I've also entered this creation in the following challenges:
