I wasn't sure what I wanted to make when I saw the latest batch of cookies in the inspiration photo for challenge #135 at If You Give a Crafter a Cookie !! A baby card, a Valentine ?? Something red, something with hearts or animals ?? I hope that you will get inspired yourself and link a project up of your own before February 20.
I found this embossing folder/stamp set at Michaels last year on clearance for $1.00 !! It was the perfect time to use it for this card ..
- I embossed a piece of black cardstock with a red inner core, using the pawprint embossing folder.
- Using my sanding square, I sanded off the top layer of black to show some of the red color underneath .
- The embossed panel was adhered to a Kraft card base.
- The cat was stamped on a piece of watercolor paper with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and then fussy-cut.
- I adhered a Starbucks giftcard in the lower right corner.
- The cat's Valentine was colored with a red Sharpie marker and then the cat was popped up next to the giftcard with foam tabs.
This card includes 3 of my favorite things - the color RED, coffee and cats !! I know I will be making many more of these in the future !! I hope that you love it as much as I do .. Take a look at the other Design Team member's creations over at the main BLOG page. And link up a project of your own !!
Until next time, Stay Creative.
And thank-you for visiting Meticulosity .
