Another Tuesday, another challenge and this time Tuesday Throwdown wants you to 'go on a tear'; use torn papers on your project. Our sponsor this week is Pink Cat Studio and they have some of the cutest images! They generously provided the DT members with images for our projects this week. I immediately fell in love with this Cat on a Hatbox. Of course, you know me and cats!
I printed the Cat on a Hatbox onto marbled paper, colored the hatbox and the flower with watercolor pencils (blended with Copic blender), then tore the image out of the paper. In recognition of Pink Cat Studio being our sponsor, I tore some pink dp pieces and framed the image with them, then I used a bamboo skewer to curl the edges of the dp.
The mat for the image is from dp that's been in my stash for so long, I have no idea who made it or even where I got it. I did some distressing on it with both ink and sandpaper. I cut two strips of the shiny, green, satin ribbon, then frayed one end and bunched up the other end of each strip before adhering them to the card front. I thought the frayed look matched up with the torn paper. I added the lace and the flower, and layered on the image piece last, popping it up over the ribbon pieces. The rhinestones were added as a bit of bling.
