Topflight Stamps: The Purrfect Crime?

It's Tuesday so you've got Kathi here to share a project with you. It's an "Anything Goes" week for the TFS team, so I've decided to make a scene with the Cat Detective Red Rubber Unmounted Stamp by Katzelkraft and the Brick Wall Background Red Rubber Cling Stamp by Darkroom Door.

Here it is!

Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to stamp the Cat Detective Red Rubber Unmounted Stamp by Katzelkraft onto white cardstock. Fussy-cut the cat, color with Copic markers, and edge with a black pen. Set aside.

Use low-tack tape to cover the bottom third of a panel of mixed media paper. Brush or sponge Paprika and Russet Orange Elements Inks by Lavinia Stamps over the tape to cover the top portion of the panel. Mist with water then realize that the water brightened the panel too much. Add some Snowflake Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic Paint by PaperArtsy to a craft mat, mist with water, and use a piece of foam to apply the dilute white paint overtop to knock back the brightness. Heat set.

Use Morning Mist VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to stamp the Brick Wall Background Red Rubber Cling Stamp by Darkroom Door. Heat set.

Lift the tape, reposition it to cover the top part of the background panel. Heavily sponge Graphite Elements Ink by Lavinia Stamps directly below the brick. Sponge it more lightly as you near the bottom of the panel. Sponge beige chalk ink over the Graphite Elements Ink to create a cement sidewalk.

Use a black chalk pencil to add lines and shading to the sidewalk. Place the fussy-cut Cat Detective onto the background panel and lightly trace around him. Set him aside. Use the black chalk pencil to create a shadow for the Cat Detective and to add shading to the bricks. Rub the chalk into the paper.

Trim the background panel to 4" x 5.25" and edge with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Inks by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko. Adhere the Cat Detective to the background panel.

Use embossing ink to stamp the sentiments from the Cat Detective Red Rubber Unmounted Stamp by Katzelkraft onto black cardstock. Add white detail embossing powder, heat set, then cut with flag cutting dies. Adhere the image panel to a black A2 card and adhere the sentiment strips to finish the card.
