Hello Ai fans!
Today we're Feline Crazy because we have a fantastic card from DT member Janet!
Normally, we share our design team members feature during week one of our challenge but
since we participated in the Cat Lovers Hop last week we changed things up a bit. So, this week
you get to hear about how Janet made her adorable card!
It's Janet here to kick off a brand new challenge. This one is called Feline Crazy. To participate you can post any crafty project with a cat or cat theme. I chose to use #5183 - Christmas Kitty. I think these four little kittens in their Christmas sweaters are precious!
Flip cards are constructed so that when opened, the card flips the sentiment and shows you the back image. To make the flip mechanism, I used #5103 Flip Card Die. This makes the cut and fold lines. It also comes with the die phrase of Happy Birthday and numbers 0-9. It's a good set for many uses.
After stamping the images with a water color friendly ink, I water colored the images using Karin Brushmarker Pro markers. The markers are very easy to use. I like to squiggle some ink out on my glass board and paint with a damp #3 round brush.
An alcohol ink background paper was used on both sides. It coordinates nicely with the colors used in the sweaters. A pastel pink glitter cardstock was used for mats and for the lacey border on the front. I heat embossed the sentiments using silver embossing powder. Matt pink enamel dots and small pearls were added as accents on the card front.
The markers I used include several neon colors. I find these come out pastel when watered down and aren't either overpowering or too weak. The markers colors used are: 264-Arctic Blue, 0220-Neon Canary, 6120-Neon Orange, 6172-Neon Violet, 105-Henna, 213-Cocoa, 133-Neutral Grey 1, 131-Nuetral Grey 3, 030-Black.
We look forward to seeing your Feline Crazy projects for our challenge. It's always fun to see what everyone makes. They are all amazing!
