For that card I had planned on making a watercolored card and then add the silhouette cats to that. The original card itself didn't live up to my expectations so
I trimmed off just the part with the little kittens and sentiment box, used a black inkpad
around the edges and then mounted this onto a white card base. I used the
Bubble Background stamp behind the image panel for some interrest using
Broken China Distress ink. The image panel was done with mostly the same
Distress ink and I stamped the leaves with the same ink. The line that
appears brown-ish was originally part of a tree I had stamped. These stamps are all by
Tracy Evans Boutique Designs (Numerical Cats, Bubble Background, Silhouettes, Alpha Florals).

This is a perfect (purrfect?) combination of cute, arty and quirky - I love how you utilised the best bits of a previous project you weren’t happy with, with a fabulous result … oh and I’m loving the bubbles stamp more and more, it looks brilliant on this make! xx
Nice to see your new Cats getting another outing Ellie, a really effective CAS design.

This is such a cute card, love the colors and the light ink behind the image. Thanks for sharing with us at Simply Clean & Simple!
I love the colors and the inking technique; by cutting the cats out and mounting them like that they become such a huge focal point.

It's comforting to read that another artisan struggled and reworked a card! :) Thanks for sharing that! Sometimes I have cards that go through 3-5 stages/re-workings until I get happy with everything. The cat couple image is a great idea to give to a pair that have a cat or two or more for their anniversary! Thanks for supporting HQCOLCB's "A" main theme for anniversaries! -- Becca
Your card design is truly captivating. The silhouette cats are striking, and the Bubble Background stamp adds a lovely texture. The use of Broken China Distress ink is an excellent choice, creating a soft and dreamy feel. The decision to trim the original card and repurpose it into this CAS style is brilliant. Such a clever and creative approach!
Totally love how this came together! Those colors look amazing!. Thank you so much for sharing this with us at My Time to Craft
