COOL CATS


I have lots of favourite animals - and cats are right up there at the top - I have three of my own - various rescue cats through the years.  And as well as domestic cats I do love the big cats.  This cheetah stamp from Stamperia is one of my favourite.  Inspired by the challenge over at As You See It which is Zoology or your favourite animals I decided to have a play with this stamp.

Here I've turned it into a tag - the background was made wit Distress Oxide Ink in Brushed Corduroy and I added a Tim Holtz stencil over the top in Gathered Twigs.  Added some splashes of water to remove some of the ink.  I actually did this after I had stamped and inked the main image - just being careful not to get ink on the image.  All the image was inked with Distress Inks and then I added Tim Holtz Distress Glaze over the top of the ink to make it pop a bit more.  The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted.  I added some ribbon and lace to finish off the tag.





I'm adding this into the following challenges:

As You See It #256 - Zoology 
Snarky Stampers - F is for ......fierce 
Colormyheart Complementary colours Blue/Orange
