This card is for a crafty friend who absolutely loves kitties and leaves sweet and encouraging comments on my YouTube videos, blog posts and Instagram feed. In fact, I am sending this as a combo Christmas\/Valentines card (yes, that’s how late I am) since it will be going to her abroad.<\/p>\n
<\/a>I Copic colored up this cutie and her kitty from the Santoro Gorjuss Girl “Purrrrrfect Love” stamp set<\/a><\/span> with the following colors: You’ll notice that I switched out the kitty’s head for a rounder, more chubby kitty\u00a0from the Pretty Pink Posh “Holiday Pals” stamp set<\/a><\/span> to make it look more like my one of my friend’s cat. I also added a bow tie from that set since my friend dresses her cats (lol), and I colored it to match the little girl’s dress.\u00a0I fussy cut out the whole image, including using an X-Acto blade to get in the nooks and crannies by the cat’s tail and the girl’s hair, and I inked all the edges of the cut image with a Momento Tuxedo Black Marker<\/a><\/span> for a finished look.<\/p>\n I layered her on top of a plain white card stock card front that I dry embossed with hearts using the We R Memory Keepers Next Level Dotted embossing folder<\/a><\/span>. I chose a sentiment from the Avery Elle Polar Pals stamp set<\/a> <\/span>that I thought combined the wintery feel of Christmas with the heart reference for Valentines. I used black card stock, VersaMark Ink<\/a><\/span> and Ranger Super Fine White Embossing Powder<\/a><\/span> for a crisp and clear sentiment strip on which the little girl and her kitten could stand.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n For finishing touches I painstakingly selected 7 tiny star confetti from the Unicorn Sparkle Blends by Doodles Paper Playground<\/a><\/span>. I arranged them in 3 clusters and think they add a nice little accents. I also spotted a super cute heart in the\u00a0Unicorn Sparkle Blends so I added that on the Gorjuss Girl’s hat.<\/p>\n Disclosure<\/span>: Many of the supplies I\u2019ve used for today\u2019s project are linked.\u00a0Some may be affiliate links, which means if you make a purchase I receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.
