SNARKY CATS

One of my craft gifts was a set of Snarky Cats and stencils from Tim Holtz.  I'm joining in with the challenge over at Make My Monday - they've asked us to choose our favourite theme from last year - what a great challenge - I ended up doing two challenges in one - Friendship from September and Washi Tape from April.



I started my card off with the stencil that looked like string all tangled up.  I used three Distress Oxide Colours Peacock Feathers, Rusty Hinge and Saltwater Taffy to create the background.  I stamped the cat on top and coloured him in with some Rusty Hinge Distress Ink and some Luminarte paint for his eyes.  There is a touch of Spectrum Noir glitter pen on the ball of wool and through the string.

I added some touches of Washi tape from Aallandcreate - I like to tear little bits off the tape and use it just here and there.  This tape had the same blues I'd used which was a bonus.

I added the quirky sentiment with Versafine Clair ink in Warm Breeze - now who should I give this card to? lol! It will most probably go as a RAK card on my Facebook Group the Joy of Sets.  RAK stands for Random Act of Kindness and we send cards we make out to each other -it's lovely as a crafter to receive as well as give.


I'm also adding this into the following:

Just Add Ink - Favourite - cats are my favourite animals 
As you like it - favourite reason to send a card - as mentioned above as a RAK for my group members 
The sisterhood of crafters - something new - my stamps and stencil

Oh this is such fun Fiona. I love that cat with attitude (cattitude!) and all of the fab collage details on your card. Thanks for joining us for our first Just Add Ink challenge of the year.

That sentiment definitely made me laugh Fiona, love how it is tucked in with the fragments of washi tape. It is a perfect match to that snarky cat. Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week. Kim
