...here's a peek at my project for this week...
I've relied quite heavily on the paper collection for this one...I've done quite a bit of layering! I opted to die cut an oval window into the card front and have the kittens on the swing as the center focal point. I've used a piece of decorative paper behind the oval that had some leaves and florals to mimic a tree. I've used some decorative die cuts as layering pieces around the oval window to give the card a soft and whimsical feel!
I've colored up the kitten image with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I opted to go with a water color technique. They were stamped onto smooth water color paper using Ranger Archival - Jet Black. I've added a bit of color to the image and have then moved it around using my water brush.
I then stamped the cute little flowers and foliage onto Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper...I stamped one set in Ranger Archival Ink - Magenta Hue and another in Ranger Archival Ink - Deep Purple. The leaves I have stamped in Ranger Archival Ink - Olive. I've then colored up the pinkish florals with Ranger Archival Ink - Pink Peony, the purple in Ranger Archival Ink - Majestic Violet, and the leaves using Ranger Archival Ink - Leaf Green. I've then die cut them all with the coordinating dies and shaped them using the 3D Purr-fect Posies Shaping Mold.
The shaping mold makes creating these little posies so quick and easy. I love that you can build double blossoms as well as single blooms...they are so pretty either way!
I loved the little sentiment in the paper collection ..."Sweet Times Together". I thought it suited these adorable little kitties...don't you think this would make the most adorable and unique anniversary card!
I hope you have enjoyed my project today!
