Hello!

This week the Stampendous Design Team has been celebrating Cats and Dogs!  Stampendous has soooo many great images and sentiments for this theme, it's hard to choose! Lucky for me, as part of their wonderful Design Team, I am provided many of these great images to create fun sample cards! Enjoy!

The Indigo Cats set from the Stampendous Laurel Burch collection is another purr-fect set for this week's theme!
"Hello Friend"

Instructions:
Step 1:  Fold a 6" x 9 1/2" piece of Bright Yellow cardstock in half to form an A6 card
Step 2:  Fold a baby wipe in half, then in half again, place several drops of reinker color along a fold, swipe randomly across an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of white cardstock, reink as necessary until the paper is filled with color, let dry or heat set
Step 3: Cut a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of white paper, use a clean baby wipe and only the pink, orange and yellow reinkers, swipe horizontally across the paper, use just a specific color to fill in where necessary until you have the look you want, let dry or heat set
Step 4:  Use the stencil from the Indigo Cats stamp set and the pink ink to add some designs around the background piece
Step 5: Use Archival Jet Black ink to stamp a cat and butterfly on the big piece of colored paper, heat set
Step 6:  Use the matching dies to cut the stamped images out
Step 7:  Cut a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of black, deckle cut each edge taking off just a very small amount, adhere the background piece to the black mat then to the card front
Step 8: Cut a 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece of black, deckle each edge, adhere near the bottom of the background
Step 9:  Arrange the cats and butterflies on the background, using foam tape on the cat and two mini glue dots to the center back of the butterfly, add antennae to the butterfly using the micron pen
Step 10:  Stamp the "HELLO" with Jet Black ink, heat set

I was making these for a card club I belong to, so I was making 8 cards. I was able to get all the cats and butterflies I needed from the one 8 1/2" x 11" piece I colored.



One of these cats is not like the others, can you see the difference?!!
