Hello, I made this for Speedy's Friends Challenge #8, this weeks challenge is embossing! I also used this weeks SCS colour challenge, CC276 soft, appealing, amethyst.
Olivia and I went to a Scrapbook/stamping sale last Saturday, and I got a couple MS punches for $5.00 including this mouse rat edge punch!
So my card base is almost amethyst, with a layer of soft suede and then a layer of vanilla embossed with a Fiskars Paw print embossing plate. I sponged the edges with Tim Holtz antique linen.
The cat and mouse are both from the "Speedy the Cats Friends" set from Mark's Finest Papers. I used SU ink pads and a pumpkin pie marker to watercolour in the cat & mouse. I tried to make the cat look like an orange tabby, what do you think? I matted this on soft suede, the top is punched with my new MS punch and the bottom edge is an EK zigzag punch.
I didn't have ribbon that matched, so I ran some white taffeta ribbon thru the almost amethyst ink pad. It came out alot darker than the cardstock, oh well!
Accessories: oval punch, gems, MS edge punch, EK zigzag punch, Fiskars paw prints embossing plate, dimensionals, pumpkin pie, old olive & pretty in pink markers
