Love Kitty

Hey Guys, 

Hello and welcome to my blog today.

I've another image from Newtons Antics to share with you. This time it's the two cuddling cats. I think this image is so cute. I used to have two cats who used to cuddle up together and this image reminded me of them. Sadly both cats are not with me anymore. 

I colored in the image using colors which were similar to Newton on the stamp packaging. I tried to copy Newton from the picture as I am still learning about Promarkers. I am by no means an artist in fact I'm far from it. I can just about handle coloring in. I used my black marker pen on the outside edge so no white edges would show on the finished card.

I am itching to get my hands on a Memento Duel Pen. I hope by using it my images would look better. The marker pen I am currently using is not good at all and I feel it ruins the look of my stamped images. I shall be buying one on my next shopping spree.

Do you know of any other pens or markers to go round edges of stamped images? I will be grateful for your input on this.

I got out Me to You with Love pack again and used two patterns from it. I thought they both looked good and stuck them together using my Hobbycraft Value Tape Runner. I put them at an angle so the red paper would show more. With some of the left over patterned paper I turned it over so the white side was up and stamped my sentiments from Newtons Antics stamp set. I couldn't decide which to use so I used them both. I used one as the main sentiment and the other I stuck to the pattern paper to make it look as though it belonged there. Before sticking them both down with my tape runner I used Fired Brick Distress Ink around the edges to tie it in with the pattern paper. 

I sponged some Fired Brick Distress Ink around the card stock to soften the edges and to help everything be tied in together. I had a old ribbon left over in my stash and used a red one where the fold is. I stuck it to the back with some washy tape. 

Tell me what you think by leaving a comment below, I cannot wait to hear from you.

love
