Hello there!! Today I have a card to share with you using the little kitten in a stocking image from the Santa's Helpers stamp set by Sunny Studio Stamps! I had my distress inks out, and I was playing around with making my own watercolor-esque patterned paper. I used a bit of Barn Door, Twisted Citron and Lucky Clover to create my striped background. I intended for this card to look a but like a Christmas package, wrapped in pretty striped paper, with a cute tag hanging from it. I stamped, colored and diecut the stocking image using the coordinating Santa's Helpers dies. I used Lucky Clover ink to add some color to the bottom right of the tag for a little more interest, Then I mounted the image the tag with foam tape, and punched a hole to thread my twine through and tied a bow. I wrapped the twine around the back of the watercolor piece, and taped it down with scotch tape, and popped the tag up with foam tape before adhering the panel to a red card base. I felt like something was missing, so I added some tiny googly eyes to the kitten. I think his wide eyes add a bit of whimsy and it works well with the playful, whimsical striped background.
That's all for me today! Thanks for stopping by! :)
