Cat Sympathy

Welcome

Losing a beloved pet can really be a tough thing to deal with, so I've been creating some 'pet' sympathy cards this month using the new for July stencils from A Colorful Life Designs. 

This one is called:

PAW HEART

I paired it up with an older release called FUR

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I placed the Paw Heart stencil over a piece of white cardstock and inked it up with some Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide ink.
• Leaving the stencil in place, I put the Fur stencil over it and inked with some Black Soot DOX ink.  
• Next, I fussy cut out around the heart and added some dots using a black Posca pen.
• While that dried, I stamped the sentiment with some Versamark ink and white heat embossed it on black cardstock.
• I glued a piece of grid paper onto black cardstock, then white, then another piece of black and then onto a 4 1/4" square white card base.
• I glued the paw over the grid paper and then I used some foam tape to add the sentiment into the corner to finish off my card.

Here are the stencils I used:

Good Morning

Here is another great 'pet' stencil for July from A Colorful Life Designs called:

CAT CURLICUE

I thought this would make a good pet sympathy card.

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I began by placing the CAT CURLICUE stencil over a piece of white cardstock and inked it up with some Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide ink.
• I lifted that stencil off and placed the Patterned Noise stencil from last month, over the top and inked just around the cat with some Shaded Lilac, Ripe Persimmon, Picked Raspberry and some Peacock Feathers DOX ink. By stenciling around the image, it helped to ground it and added colour and more interest.
• I placed my stenciled card front into my Misti to stamp the sentiment over to the side.
• Using the end of a pencil eraser, I stamped in the 2 eyes of the cat and stenciled in a few extra cat paws along the right hand side.
• I glued it onto a piece of navy cardstock and then onto a white square 4 1/4" card base.
• I finished my card off by adding 3 black gems around the sentiment.

Welcome

Meet the newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called

Two Cat Meow

Lots of cats and dogs in this new release, perfect for the pet owners 

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I cut a piece of white cardstock and placed the Two Cat Meow stencil over that and inked up with some black Versaclair black ink.
• I cleaned the stencil off and then masked off one of the cat faces on the stencil.  I used that to stencil the rest of the cat faces all over my panel.  The colours I used were Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers and some Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide ink.
• I glued the stenciled card front onto a piece of purple cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card base.
• Lastly, I added the sentiment along the bottom with some foam tape.
