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.

There is an Anni-Verve-Sary party going on today! Verve Stamp Company is 2 years old! The hop started at Verve's blog , so come hop on board and see over 5 dozen projects that are sure to get your Verve on! I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time. My blog hop project today uses all Plain Jane Bible verses from Verve. I saw this project at Susan Roberts gallery on Splitcoaststampers and went to her blog to get the details . I decided to make one for my mother as a Christmas present...in 2008. Yep, I just now finished it and I have the blog hop to thank. Using sketches would have made this a whole lot faster. LOL The two cards shown in the picture above use the latest Plain Jane release for Psalm 121:1-2 (hanging on box) and Hebrews 11:1 (in front of box). And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...
