Have a Purr-fect Birthday!

  It's Tuesday so you've got Kathi here to share a project with you. This week is an "Anything Goes" theme, so I decided to make a CAS birthday card with the super-cute, super-versatile Purr-fect Birthday Clear Polymer Stamp Set by Visible Image.

Here it is!


Place a piece of 4" x 5.25" light Kraft cardstock onto a stamping platform. Place a piece of low-tack tape horizontally across the cardstock panel about 1.5" from the bottom. 

Position the right-facing cat stamp from the Purr-fect Birthday Clear Polymer Stamp Set by Visible Image on the top left border and the cat-in-the-box stamp from the stamp set on the tape in the center of the image panel. Ink both stamps with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko. Stamp the images. Re-ink and stamp again if necessary to attain a good impression.

Remove the panel from the stamping platform. Move the low-tack tape so that it covers the stamped box. Use Premier Blending Tool by Hunkydory Crafts to sponge Sand Dune VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko over the tape onto the bottom of the image panel. 

Place Post-It Notes on a diagonal from the bottom edges of the box. Use a second Premier Blending Tool by Hunkydory Crafts to sponge Portabello VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko over the tape and Post-It Notes to create a shadow. Remove the tape and Post-It Notes and heat set. 

Place the image panel back onto the stamping platform. Position the left-facing cat stamp from the  Purr-fect Birthday  set towards the bottom on the right border of the image panel, ink the stamp with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko and stamp.

Position the "Surprise!" stamp on the box on the image panel. Ink the stamp with Avocado VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko and stamp. Lightly ink the stamp with Grass Green VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko and stamp to deepen the color.

Position the "purr-fect birthday" stamp as shown and stamp with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko.

Remove the panel from the stamping platform and thoroughtly heat set it. Use watercolor markers to color the cat's eyes, then add highlights using a white gel pen. 

Edge the image panel with a black marker, then adhere it onto a darker Kraft A2 card.
