Greetings! You've got Kathi here to share my weekly project with you. The lovely Ericka filled in for me on Tuesday as I was away on vacation. This week my teammates and I are focusing on Katzelkraft's wonderful stamps. When I saw the Snakes KTZ315 Unmounted Red Rubber Stamp Set, I immediately thought "HISS!", which meant it would work wonderfully with all my Katzelkraft cat stamps. I decided to use a smaller cat from the Cats on Books KTZ295 Unmounted Red Rubber Stamp Set for this card since the snake could be looking at him.
Using a stamping platform, I positioned the upside-down cat from the Cats on Books KTZ295 Unmounted Red Rubber Stamp Set to the right of an image panel, placed a Post-It Note over the book pile, inked the stamp with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko, and stamped him twice — once onto the image panel and once onto repositionable sticker paper, which was fussy-cut to mask him.
I chose the knotted snake from the Snakes KTZ315 Unmounted Red Rubber Stamp Set, positioned him to the left of the masked cat, then stamped him twice — once onto the image panel and once onto repositionable sticker paper, which was fussy-cut to mask him.
I used low-tack tape to cover the bottom of the image panel, brushed Della Blue and Confetti Elements Inks over the tape and the masked images to create a sky. 91% Isopropyl Alcohol was sprayed over the inked sky to blend and mottle the background.
The masks were lifted and the snake, cat, and grass were colored with Copic markers. The image panel was trimmed, edged with Graphite Elements Ink, and adhered to black cardstock.
Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink was used to stamp the "hugs and kisses" sentiment from the More Classic Sentiments Clear Stamp Set by Heffy Doodle onto the leftover inked cardstock and an extra "hugs" onto plain white cardstock.
The sentiment panel was cut with a ribbon cutting die and edged with Graphite Elements Ink. The "h" from the extra "hugs" was punched with a tiny rectangle punch, trimmed, edged with a yellow Copic marker, and adhered over the "k" in kisses.
Patterned paper from the Ink Drops - Candy 6x6 Patterned Paper Pad was selected, trimmed to 5.25" x 4" and edged with Graphite Elements Ink. The image panel was adhered as shown.
Stitched border dies were used to cut the same patterned paper and black cardstock. The patterned paper border was edged with Graphite Elements Ink, threaded through the ribbon slide sentiment die-cut, adhered to the black border die-cut, and added to the top of the patterned paper background. The last step was to adhered the cardfront to an A2 black card.
