Introducing Pink Cat

I just LOVE my new Pink Cat Studios stamps! These cats are just delish - I couldn't resist trimming all my stamps, mounting on rubber cusion and sitting down to stamp the minute I woke up this morning!!! :) Here is my first creation. It is a 5.25 x 5.25" card. Isn't she just so CUTE???

This card features LilyKate Basic Grey and Loves Me Stampin' Up patterned paper. I just love the polka dots and thought they would be the perfect accent for this fashionista kitty! I started by stamping the Hat Box Kitty in Stazon Black on Whisper White cardstock and coloring in with Prismacolors and mineral spirits. I then accented with my pink Sakura Stardust pen. I'm not sure if the photo shows it, but the rose, all the stripes and the bubbles on the scarf and hatbox are accented with Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds. This kitty SPARKLES in real life! In keeping with this week's doodling challenge, I doodled a frame around the cat image with my Chocolate Chip Stampin' Write Marker. This frame is just straight lines, two little V's and then straight lines all around. Then I used little hash marks to break up the lines. This helps make it less noticeable that the lines are crooked and not evenly spaced! LOL! I then matted with Chocolate Chip cardstock and doodled around the edges with dots using my white gel pen.

Next I stamped Glamour Puss in Timber Brown Stazon, directly on the polka dot Loves me paper. I'm not sure why I changed ink color, just seemed wrong to stamp in in black! :) I then rounded two corners and matted with Rose Red and Chocolate Chip (with white gel pen dots) to make a tab. Then I glued the whole thing on a polka dot mat. I then folded a piece of the polka dot paper in half and punched a half circle on the open edge with my Marvy Super Jumbo Circle Punch. This gave me two matching halves, which I placed at opposite corners of a 5 1/8" square of gorgeous LilyKate Basic Grey paper. Accented with primas and Making Memories rhinestone brads. Tied a ribbon across and glued down the cat panel. Finally, I matted the whole thing on a Regal Rose card base.
