Welcome.
I recently received a rather humorous birthday card from a friend, and I had great delight in sending her one of similar ilk.
I decided to do a window technique, using a die that co-ordinated with the Tim Holtz "Crazy Cat" image
The image is actually stamped on the inside, and the matching die is used to cut the front panel.
After stamping the sentiment repeatedly across the base of the coloured panel, some enamel spots finished the outside of the card
The only colouring on the cat was the eyes, which then had a layer of Glossy Accents added. and some washi tape was used to 'ground' the cat.
The 'snark' came in the inside greeting
... and I added "I hope you are not feeling the years!"
I am linking this to:
