Hello and welcome!
I decided to join in Hero Arts Stay Crafty challenge this month and their January theme is "Hearts". These cute images are actually part of a Christmas set, but when I purchased the set I intended to use these cats on a love/valentines themed card. I just never got around to doing it until now :-)
The stamp set is called
Meowy Christmas and there is also a
matching die set available (separately).
Unfortunately they are no longer available directly from
Hero Arts, so I linked to Amazon.
I started out by stamping the images on Neenah 80lb paper using
Memento ink. The chair was stamped again on the red dotted paper to paper
piece. Cats were colored with
Copic markers
and fussy cut using my
Cutterbee scissors. (I do have the matching dies but wanted a closer cut for today's card.)

Using a circle die cut as a mask, I inked up the white card stock panel
using
Pumice Stone Distress Oxide
ink. Removed the mask, stamped the little outline hearts (this is an ancient
stamp from Stampin Up), then adhered the images.
The tiny solid red hearts were die cut (these tiny dies are included
in Avery Elle's Hearts Frame die set). I added the sentiment and a strip of striped black and white
patterned paper for some interest and then the button where I tied a bow
using natural jute twine.
The sentiment is part of
this Hero Arts stamp kit
from a couple of years ago, but it's no longer available. I love the hand
written font!

What an adorable card...creative use of stamp set!!!
I do admire this kitty love card! The design is elegant and understated, yet has a lot going on. The paper pieced chair looks fabulous and the hearts are perfect for these love struck kitties. The colour palette is gorgeous, Ellibelle. Thank you for sharing your lovely project at the Path of Positivity challenge. xx
