Hello! Welcome back to my blog. It is the first of May which means we have a new challenge at Incy Wincy Designs. Our challenge theme is/are Spring +/or Animals. I incorporated both themes on today's project.
I have several inspirations for this card:
- My card was inspired by a card Jennifer McGuire made using dog silhouette dies.
- My color scheme was inspired by a Simple Stories patterned paper.
- My sister loves cats.
I die cut the cats on floral patterned paper. I die cut extras using cardstock so I can adhere this to the back of the floral cat die cuts for a bit of dimension. Feel free to add more than one layer of die cut if you like more dimension. I lightly inked the edges of the die cuts with navy ink. After I arranged the cats on a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" navy cardstock, I picked up the die cuts with a Glad Press 'N Seal to preserve the arrangement. I applied glue to the back of the die cuts and press this back to the cardstock panel. I trimmed off the excess and used these extras to fill in any open areas on the panel. I adhered floral sequins in between the cats to fill in the spaces.
I heat embossed the sentiment on the same navy cardstock. I die cut this into a strip. I matted this with a pearl vellum paper and adhered it to the background.
I hope I inspired you with today's project, and that you join us in this month's challenge.
Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!

What a fun way to use silhouette dies and patterned papers! Also, I’m a cat lover. Thanks for sharing this with us over at Inkspirational.
