Card #10 –  “Pawesome” card

I started by assembling all my supplies.

Today’s card is dedicated to all my friends and dear readers who own cats.  This stamp is part the the same set that I used on Card #6 – Ruff Day?  I was obviously attracted to this set because of the dog, but the ball of yarn called to me as well ;-).

I used white cardstock (5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″) for my base, orange cardstock (5″ X 3 3/4″) for the frame and patterned cardstock (4 3/4″ X 3 1/2″) for the design.

I started by die cutting the patterned cardstock using a rectangular stitched die.  I also die cut the sentiment “Pawesome” out of orange cardstock.  I wanted to add some dimension and glamor to the sentiment so I went over the letters with Glossy Accents, a clear, dimensional adhesive and glitter.

I found some scrap white cardstock and stamped, in black ink, the cat and the ball of yarn.  I colored the images, cut them out and went around the edges with a black marker to give the pieces a finished look.  I then glued the sentiment and stamped the ball of yarn on the patterned cardstock.  I stamped the ball of yarn because I cut off the string after I colored the yarn image.

I added foam squares to the back of the cat and the ball of yarn and attached them to the patterned cardstock.

I used my tape runner to adhere the frame to the orange cardstock.  I then glued the patterned cardstock inside the frame.

I finished the card by attaching the front to the white cardstock base and adding a few sequins.

Here is the finished card.
