Hi and welcome to my last post as Surprise Party Guest over at Seize The Birthday. I'd like to thank Nancy and the team for inviting me to play along these last two months.
Today's challenge is a sketch and here's what I did with it:
This adorable stamp set has been sitting in my NBUS box for a while so I decided to colour up this little kitty in a box and use him on a card. The vertical hot-foiled strip was already done and sitting in my scrap box so this card didn't take too long to put together. I hot-foiled the sentiment onto a black panel using the same foil as the vertical strip and then adhered all the elements to a white card base. The cat and yarn is adhered using foam tape to give it a bit more dimension.
And I've just realised that all four of my cards as Surprise Party Guest have hot-foiling on them. Obsessed, much? 😀
Products used:
Stamps: I Knead You (MFT)
Ink: Amalgam (Gina K)
Cardstock: White, Black, X-Press It, Aramena Cherry (MFT)
Dies: Happy Birthday (Waffle Flower), Skinny Stripes Background (Spellbinders)
Accessories: Gold Hot Foil, Black Glaze Pen
Cheers
Karren
