Hey everyone, today I am sharing a card I made for my daughter's 16th birthday; where does the time go??!! This is also my card for the SCS 'Ways to Use It' Challenge WT744 of 'Cute Critters' from a couple of weeks ago. Please see this link for the details on the Challenge----> WT744 - Cute Critters by Shoe Girl at Splitcoaststampers There are no time limits on the SCS Challenges so you can play anytime!
The cute cat is by Penny Black - You're the Bestest - and was stamped using Versafine Vintage Sepia ink onto Ranger Watercolour cardstock and coloured using Derwent Inktense pencils and Faber-Castell watercolour pencils & a #2 round paintbrush. I added some glitter to all the flowers plus the cat's cheeks using Stampin' Up Dazzling Details glitter glue. I diecut the panel using a Lifestyle-Quicktuz Nesting Squares die and my Big Shot. I punched some hearts from matching burgundy cardstock using a Carl CP-8 Hearts duo punch and glued them around the image using Tombow Mono Aqua glue and added glitter to them as well.
The sentiment is from Altenew's sentiment set - 'Celebrate' and was stamped using Versafine Vintage Sepia ink. I diecut the sentiment using a Spellbinders Labels Trio die and added a Vintage Gold Molossi rhinestone to each end then popped the sentiment up on dimensionals.
All the designer papers are by Colorbok from a 12" x 12" pad which I picked up on clearance. The paper is really thin but I really like the vintage feel and colours of this pad - and it's good value because you get 50 single-sided sheets. There is no name on the pad - just a number and I daresay it is probably retired. All the layers were trimmed to 1/8" using my Perfect Layers Tools.
I punched the bottom panel using an EK Success Scalloped Scallops border punch, added the cream velveteen ribbon then popped the panel up on dimensionals. Lastly, I popped the card front onto a white card base.

I bet she loved this! Fab colouring. And I see your trademark scatter of little hearts. I think this is one of the first wooden PB stamps I bought. I cringe when I look at my earlier efforts using it.
