Here are the two cards I made for the "Cat" swap on one of my groups. I have had the image on the card above for simply years and have always liked it (it is quite huge) but have always found it difficult to use apart from just plain stamping.
This time I stamped and embossed it, painted the eyes with Twinkling H2O's, applied some Glossy Accents to them (as usual), put more paint on the actual cat and then computer generated the words. The words are from "Cats" and about Macavity the criminal cat. Thought this image rather suited it. You can read the verse by clicking on the picture. To complement it I put some Treble Clefs on the side and footprints going around to suggest the musical - kind of Macavity dancing his way around.
Hope Val likes it.
My second card is stamped and embossed on glossy card then coloured in with Brilliance Aurora to suggest the cats are there early in the morning. The paper behind is from some given to me by a friend in America and looks like planks of wood. The letters 'CAT' are punched out down the side. This one has gone to Thommo so I also punched out a cat at the back as this is the way she always signs her cards.That's it for now as I must get on with my altered corset - nearly there with this one.
