Hello! I created this card to join in Gerda Steiner's Share Your Designs Challenge. I am using a free Gerda Steiner printable image called Kitten Bookmark-Relax A Little. I edited the image, removing the sentiment in the banner and keeping it blank so I can customize my sentiment. I printed the image on Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper. I colored the image using Akashiya Sax watercolor brush pens. I colored the image with my sister's cat, Carlito, as my model. I used the Marvy Snow Marker on the fuzzy areas of the snow hat for some dimension. I also added Ranger Enamel Accent for the eyes.
I painted the banner using Zig Gansai Tambi watercolor. I applied several layers of paint, heating it dry in between layers. I fussy cut the image. I lined the edges with a Memento Tuxedo Black marker for a finished look.
For the sentiment, I die cut letters to form the word joy. I am using Hero Arts Fancy Dies Alpha Uppercase. I die cut each letter several times using Pebbles Merry, Merry patterned papers. I adhered each letter on top of each other for a raised look. I adhered this to the banner area. I added shimmer to these letters using Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss pen. I added snowflakes to the banner to fill the empty space around the letters, and also for additional shimmer.
Still using the Pebbles Merry, Merry patterned papers, I trimmed one patterned paper at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". I heat embossed a poinsettia image on this patterned paper using a stamp from Paper Smooches Merry Motifs. The embossing powder is Ranger Holographic embossing powder.
I trimmed a wide strip of peach dotted paper at 2" x 4". I inked the edges with Tim Holtz Abandoned Coral Distress ink. I adhered this to the embossed patterned paper panel. I adhered the cat using foam adhesive for some dimension.
Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
