U R Purr-fect

 Today I am sharing with you this card using Time for Tea Designs.

I have used the Pawsome Pets digital stamp for the cute kitty and the dog and the Smitten Kitten add on digital stamp for the box of chocolates, the envelope and the bow in the kitty's fur.

 After I had printed them out using some Crafters Companion printable light card I used my Spectrum Noir alcohol markers to colour them. I used the Muted Brown blend for the dog, with some True Blue blend for the collar and Ice Grey blend for the kitty and the envelope, Antique Pink blend for the box of chocolates and the heart on the envelope and then Pale Pink blend for the bow, I used my Sakura Gelly roll white pen to add highlights to all my images and then i fussy cut them and put them to one side whilst I worked on my background.

I die cut a frame from my stash and then using the Pawsome Pattern stencil from T4TD and my Make Art Staytion I blended Distress Ink in Spun Sugar all over and then gently applied a little Pumice Stone to add a little depth.

I then moved on to using a fish tail banner die from my stash to cut out three banners one of them I used on one of the sentiments from the Smitten Kitten digital stamp and the other two I blend with the same Distress Inks I had used for the background to help everything tie in together.

I started to look at where I was wanting to place my images and they looked a little weird just sitting on the background, so I decided to cut down a small piece of cardstock, to which I blended a little bit of the Pumice Stone Distress Ink and used my corner chomper to round of the top edges to make them a little less harsh, I then added this to my background layer and started to assemble my scene. 

I cut up the lines of the dog and kitty's paws so that I could place the box and the envelope to make it look like they were holding them and then added them with some wet glue. I also glued the banners down. I placed them so that they were fanned out and then I glued to whole background layer onto a card blank then I flipped it over and cut of the remaining parts of the banners to make the flush with the card. Then lastly I added some iridescent heart table confetti between the kitty and the dog.

I hope that you feel inspired to try something similar yourself...
Happy Crafting

Today’s make Is a card made using product from several different brands... It has a 6 x 6 white card base which has been matted and layered with Tonic Studios Craft Perfect card stock in Aubergine Purple which I gutted using a large square die. The next layer has been embossed using the Dotty Floral folder from Apple Blossoms All Occasion Collection. I used Spectrum Noir marker PL3 to colour the flowers and added Simply Creative 3mm self adhesive gems to the centres. I next cut out the sentiment strip using Apple Blossom’s Spring Occasions set. The next step was to ink the sentiment which I took from Creative Stamps Easter Chicks and Bunnies set (which is where the bunnies came from also). The cute little bunnies have been coloured with Spectrum Noir markers... Left bunny - MB1 and MB2 Right bunny - RB1 and RB2 Both bunnies have AP1 for the insides of the ears and IG2 blended out with the colourless blender marker and these areas have also been covered with a Wink of Stella ...

 Today's card features Time for Tea Designs products. To start with I took a 6 x 6 inch card blank and then using my nesting square dies, I cut a piece of red glitter cardstock from the Works, to make a layer. I next took another of the square dies and die cut a white layer, which I stenciled with the T4TD Starry Heart 6x6 stencil using Festive Berries Distress Ink and then placed to one side to dry. I then moved onto stamping the owl, branch and sentiment from T4TD Be Owlsome stamp set. I used Memento Tuxedo Black as I wanted to use my Tri Blend Alcohol Markers from Spectrum Noir. I used the following pens: Ice Grey (IG2, IG4 & IG5) Ice Grey Shades (IG8) Earth Brown (EB3 & EB2) Alpine Green ( AG1 & AG3) Dark Red Blend (DR1, DR3 & DR4) Coral Blend (CR3 & CR5) & Magenta Blend (MG2 & MG3).

 Today's Card features Time for Tea Designs. This is a plain and simple card using the coffee cup stamp along with one of the cute little bears from the Time for Tea Designs Bearing Gifts stamp set. I started out by die cutting a piece of cardstock using a frame from my stash and then after placing the coffee cup stamp onto an acrylic block I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink to create a random background. I also stamped another coffee cup and the bear which I  used the coordinating die set to cut out.  My next task was to start to colour these little cups and for this card I decided to use my Spectrum Noir Tri blend alcohol marker Purple blend (PL2, PL3 & PL4) I also used the Ice blue (IB1) and Ice grey (IG2 & IG4) markers on the cups. I coloured the little bear using the Earth Brown blend (EB1, EB2 & EB3) Next I die cut a oval out of white cardstock which I stamped the sentiment on using Flirty Fuchsia ink by Catherine Pooler. I then used a white gel pen to add ...
