ALPHABET CHALLENGE - K is for KITTENS

 

Hi friends, and welcome back to my new Alphabet Challenge DT card!

The theme this go-around is K is for Kittens / Cats. 

You have two whole weeks to play along, and you can enter up to three times any handcrafted items featuring the current theme!

DETAILS

Cats were colored in with alcohol ink markers. 

Sentiment was heat embossed in white detail powder.

Card base was dry embossed with SU’s Subtle folder. 

*TIP*

If tying a bow isn’t your thing but you’d like to add ribbon to your project, try adhering a straight length to your panel, attaching only on the reverse. Then simply tie another piece on as shown, either in matching or corresponding ribbon. Adding a blob of glue on the back side of the knot will keep things from shifting, and tacking the ends down with strong double-stick Glue Dots is helpful when sending out via post. 

SUPPLIES

cat stamps - Rare Image Rubber Stamps, Pets sheet

word stamps and oval die - Taylored Expressions

embossing folder - Stampin’ Up! Subtle

alcohol markers

red card stock

ribbons

Thanks for stopping in today, I can’t wait to see what you create!

Circles and Silhouettes Challenges

I have always loved this image of these birds hanging out together.  When I saw it last night at Joann's and I had a good coupon I could not resist. Very happy with it!

Stamps:  Hampton Art phrase (#PS1103), Inkadinkado birds (97855 DD)

Inks: Distress Ink - Weathered Wood, Scattered Straw, Versafine Onyx Black

Copic Marker: Black

Other: Waverly white chalk acrylic, Sakura Gelly Roll white pen

1. Smooshed blue and yellow Distress Inks on an oven liner mat and misted with water.  Rested white cardstock on inks, pressing down, then allowed to air-dry.

2. Stamped birds and phrase in black ink, and also on a large post-it to use as a mask (I used Versafine but it was not fine - it smeared LOL). I used a Copic black marker to color the birds in thouroughly.

3. Used white chalk paint and a foam brush through a section of the metal ribbon shown.

4. Smooshed the yellow ink into white cardstock and punched a circle.

5. Sponged blue ink around top edges.

6. Added the ribbon (easiest to apply it flat and tie a separate knot on).
