Cat Tag

Hello lovelies, nice to have you here!

Today I want to share with you my second project for the "Cats & Dogs" challenge over at Countryview Challenges. 

This time I made a little dreamy tag with a diecut cat from my stash.

I took a tag and glued a recently made gelprint on top. Then I stamped the leaves and stems with black VersaFine Clair and put also some ink to the edges. Then I glued the diecut cat to the tag. I guess I got this with a happy mail, I can´t remember. Then I drew the whiskers with a black fineliner and a white gelpen. To ground the cat I scribbled some lines with a black stabilo all and activated it with water.

To finish the tag I gave the cat something to look at and fuzzy cut and glued down a butterfly.

I think I will use this tag as a bookmark!

Here are some close ups:

That´s it for today!

Now I hope you will find time for some cats & dogs for our challenge. Looking forward to seeing your makes!

Cats

 Hello and welcome to the May challenge at Country View Challenges!

The theme this month is "Cats & Dogs", hosted by my talented teamy Rachel.

I really like dogs, but my heart belongs to cats. I always had one or more cats in my life from childhood until now and I really love these confident, independent but also clingy creatures.

And of course I made a card with a cat.

For this card I used a elder stamp from LaBlanche - it was a stamp set with cats, a dog and a pony.

This one is so very adorable, I really love, how detailed and lifelike it is!

First I stamped the cat face on my card topper and drew a circle with a pencil around the face. Then I grabbed DI kitsch flamingo, milled lavender and speckled egg and blended the inks with a domed foam applicator. For more interest I used a stencil and went over it with the same colour of the background. Some water drops completed the background.

Next I stamped some paw prints with DI brushed corduroy and darkend the edges of my paper with it too. Then I samped the lovely cat again and coloured it with DI (brushed corduroy again), gave her green eyes and made some highlight with a white gel pen. I cut it out in a circle. Lastly I stamped the sentiment with black Archival ink, matted the focal point and the sentiment onto cardboard for some dimension. Then I glued both onto my card topper, alining with the cat underneath.

The sentiment is in German an it says:

Not all Angels have wings,

some have whiskers.

That´s it for today, I hope you will find time to join in with our challenge this month, as you know, you can win a 20 £ voucher for the shop!

Well, and now I don´t want to introduce you my two beloved furr babies Lucy and Oskar:

This is Lucy - she is a little Diva =)

....and this is her brother Oskar. He is the most adorable cat I ever had! 💗
