You're One Cool Cat

Hellooo friends!!!

It's Friday evening here in India and I am soooo ready for nice relaxing weekend!! :)

I have a card to share with you all. I got my happy mail from Butterfly Reflections Ink few days back with lots of new stamp set. Amazing fast international shipping  and more amazing customer service, love to shop from BRI store..

I have used My Favorite Things "Cool Cat" stamp set. I stamped the image using Memento Rich Cocoa ink and colored everything using Prisma colored pencils. 

I added couple of strips of different design papers following the sketch from CTS #170

 And the color from Color Throwdown #390

I used sentiment from same stamp set and stamped it using Memento Tuxedo black ink. I wanted to add little more interest to the card, so I splattered some diluted Squeezed Lemonade and Nautical Blue inks. I also added little glitter to the cushion, Ranger liquid pearl to cats necklace and some sequins. 
Here is a close up:

That's all from me today. Hope you like my card.

Have a happy weekend everyone!! Thanks for stopping by!!

Hello everyone!!
I have card to share with you all today. I played with my Lawn Fawn stamps and I am following the sketch from Lawnscaping challenge...

I stamped the images from Lawn Fawn "Critter in the Jungle" onto Tim Holtz Water color Cardstock; did lots of masking and colored everything using Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors. For the greeting I grabbed "thanks a bunch" sentiment from the same stamp set.
For the background I stamped the images from the same stamp set onto an A2 sized white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo black ink and then colored everything using copics. I also added some diluted yellow watercolor paint splatter to the card base.
Finally I adhered the water colored panel to the card base using some foam squares. For embellishment I added some sequins and also lots of glitter.

Have A Lovely Day

Hello friends, hope you all are having a great weekend!!
I have a card to share with you all today.. Few days back I got an amazing package from Simon Says Stamp which took me totally by surprise and just couldn't wait to dig and play with my new goodies..! THANK YOU so much SSS for such a generous box of goodies!!!

Here is my card for you all...

There was this stamp set called "Lovely Spring" and  few ink pads in the package, so I wanted to you use those together on this card.
I stamped the images on an A2 size white cardstock to create a nice floral design. Stamped the sentiment on a piece of white cardstock and just to make it stand out a little on the busy pattern behind, I smooshed the sides of the sentiment panel on Delicata Golden glitz ink pad; used some foam squares to adhere it to center of the card front.
Finally added some gold sequins and also added white dots to the flowers using a white gelly roll pen.

Here is a close up:

Hope you like my card..
