A Purrfect Card with Technique Junkies

It's getting closer and closer to Valentines Day, and I'm pulling together a stack of lovely cards. Today features a sweet feline with a wishlist just for YOU!

Shop at Technique Junkies with code TJ10Janelle on all regular priced items including the stamps I used on this project!

I made the background with the Pantone Color of the Year in mind, Ultraviolet, using the Spattered Ombre technique varied with a spray bottle of rubbing alcohol! A double row of straight stitches around the outside for detail was done before gluing it onto the kraft paper mat already adhered to the white card base.

A plain old-fashioned piece of paper torn from a memo pad was used to stamp the sentiment in Memento Grape Jelly Ink. Vogue Kitty is stamped with a scotch tape mask over the hat to make the Memento Tuxedo black ink outline and then reversed the tape mask to ink the hat then remove the tape before stamping, trust me I know from experience. Some enamel dots to detail the hat were added after the cat was cut with a wide contour cut.

Technique: Spattered Ombre

Supplies: I provide some product links that are through my Amazon Affiliate, and that means when clicked and purchased in the same session a few pennies are sent my way at no cost to you.
