Today, I have a card to share that I made using the
I also used the MFT Colour Challenge 43:
I decided to use my Cat-titude set to create my card.
I started by running my MFT Stitched dies through my diecutting machine to impress them
on my piece of watercolour paper.
I was inspired by Betsy Veldman's card and how she did the same technique
with similar dies and added watercolour ink to her stitched lines,
so I decided to do the same thing.
I smoothed some ink and water onto my panel and stamped the cat from Cat-itude onto the front.
I stamped it onto another piece of watercolour paper, coloured it in with a mix of ink
and water and my Zigs, the fussy cut it out by hand and adhered it to my card front.
I stamped the sentiment (from Reverse Confetti's Bear Hugs) onto a strip of vintage jadeite cardstock.
Thanks for looking!
