Those of you who have the opportunity to see the sidebar of my blog may think I'm a 'cat lady' so this card will need little explanation. But I'm actually an animal person - cats just seem to fit my current lifestyle better.
I'm also a huge fan of the artist, Mariola Budek, and coloring her images never fails to make me feel like a great colorist! I used this one for another birthday card, one which will go to a family member in the future.
I colored the image with Sanjoki markers, then cut it with a rectangle Tonic Studio die. I used a corner punch from Fiskars and it had three different corner options, of which I used 2. I framed the image with a 'Linen' embossed dark pink CS piece and framed that with a scrap of light pink CS. I used my bow maker to tie a double-loop bow, then printed and cut the sentiment with an Avery Elle die. I used a tiny scrap of the dark pink CS to frame the sentiment.
The background was made using a Darice EF on metallic paper for a 'hammered copper' look.
