Dawn says ....

Hi all, well when given our topic for this week 

it just had to be cats for me. Our family

 includes four adopted house cats who we 

love dearly even with their own quirks and 

funny ways. This stamp set is fabulous. You

 can do so much with them, colour, paper piece,

 zentangle inside the outlines and they are a 

really good size so easy to cut out. They come 

looking all demure with eyelids closed, I've

 drawn in the eyes and whiskers!

To make this card -

I sprayed some Irresistible Texture Sprays in 

purples, red and pink on a craft mat and smooched

 some white card into it and lifted straight up.

 This dried with fabulous colour and texture. 

Then I stamped my cats on to this, drew some

 eyes and whiskers and cut out.

For the base card - masking off with a

 strip of paper,

 I laid the circles stencil on top and lightly sprayed 

through Pear Tart Irresistible texture spray. When

 dry I put the stencil back on and applied Squeezed

 Lemonade Distress ink.

 And inking the strip

 area too which I then stamped across with

 the paw print stamp with green Stazon. I

 wiped over with some kitchen roll to remove

 any ink from the sprayed areas.

Next,  I die cut the largest heart and applied glue

 and gilding flakes. This was added to the 

card base with foam pads. Then I simply added

 my cats on top. I've stamped the sentiment

 inside -  'You're the cats whiskers'.

Aah how cute is that?
I'm loving the versatility of these 
Irresistible Texture Sprays!
