Feline Special

Happy Friday!

I have a quick post here.  It's been a sunny but very windy day here.  Was the perfect day to spend working on cards or so I thought.  I have bits and pieces done here and there that hopefully will be finished up tonight or tomorrow.  This one I scrambled to get done as one of the challenges I wanted to participate in closes soon this evening.  


I looove this cat stamp, Cat Zen from Seaside Stamping Ink.  Addicted CAS Cat challenge and this month's CAS Mixup were great challenges to use it in.  I stamped the cat in Versarmark on Acetate then embossed it in gold, along with the sentiment.  The Sentiment is from Stamplorations.  Next, I turned it over and colored it in with Copic markers.  I finished it off by adding a stitched frame around it and attached some light blue sequins on top.  I realized after I finished it that part of under his eye is blue and should have been pink.  Guess maybe I can say he got in a cat fight.  The handmade plight sometimes.  LOL  I wasn't about to try and take it off the cardbase and fix it.  




I used Acetate, Stamping, Embossing, Copic Coloring

Special "Feline" Blessings!

So cool!! LOVE this image. And what a great way to use acetate with copic colouring on the back, Nance. Beautiful bright colours that look amazing with the gold embossing. Would never have know about the "extra" blue if you hadn't said something ... cat fight ... so funny!! :) Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up! xx
