I {heart} My Skating Kitty…
Nov 26th, 2007 by Jen
When I first started making this card I knew that I wanted to use The Cat’s Pajama’s Skating Kitty image and the “Think Snow” sentiment {the sentiment is the whole reason I got that clear set!!}. I had no idea how it would come out, but I have to say…I flippin’ LOVE this card! Maybe that sounds like I’m tooting my horn, but I don’t care right now {and that’s ok, really!}. It’s been a long time since I finished a project that I was super happy with and I am just breathing a little sigh of relief that I still have it in me to do this. Do you know what I mean??? I’m not saying I had no mojo, but I was about to start running on ‘E’ if something like this didn’t come along.
Anyways and anywhooooooo…let me get to telling you about the card and details. The kitty is stamped in black Staz-On on PaperTrey white cardstock and then colored with Copic markers. Her jacket ‘fur’ is white puffy paint {Tulip brand from Michael’s}. I love the dimension it gives! The swirly trail is also stamped in Staz-On. I then took my Bashful Blue marker and colored over it and then used my aqua painter and softened the lines. I topped the swirly off with my Sakura Stardust pen {available HERE}. The sentiment is also stamped with the same ink and then I placed Swarovski crystals on either side. I reeeeeaaaallly prefer these crystals over the cheapy rhinestones. They are SO much more sparkly!! The stitching was done with my Janome Sew Mini {a must have!} and the white plastic snowflakes are from Hobby Lobby.
I hope you all had a wonderful long weekend with family and friends. We’re in the home stretch to Christmas now…yikes!!
