Last one. And MY favorite of the 3 Swirl Cats, it's in PURPLE! Funny thing is I started Sunday stamping 3 images and applying pastels to make ONE card with 3 images but didn't like the resulting color combo so... a trio of cards is the result. For this card: stamped Swirl Cat in Versamark on Natural White; applied 3 colors of SU Pastels. Cat's framed piece's layers were cut with deckle scissors. Edges of the white layers were sponged. Orchid Opulence CS was Cuttlebugged then raised surfaces lightly 'highlighted' by sponging on Perfect Plum. Then I outlined all the raised embossed shapes with a glitter pen. Some details of the cat's framing were also outlined in the glitter pen. The charm is stamped in StazOn on ShrinkArt film before shrinking. Cat's 'framed' piece is raised up on dimensionals. PS: my shrink film was clear after shrinking, to make the salutation stand out better, I applied white-out to the back of my shrink-art charm after it had been shrunk.

I had to read your description to figure out how the raised CB edges were made to look shiny. At first I thought you had somehow embossed just those parts (in clear), but saw you used a glitter pen. Fun! Do you have a pet parrot? I have a pet parrotlet and two parakeets, and LOVE my feathered babies!
