Today's card involved snipping apart the little dog-cat-mouse trail from
"Warm and Fuzzy" to allow for a
slightly different arrangement: I drew in a little string around the dog's leg with a black pen to pull the little mouse behind tempting the little cat, isn't that cute? (the cat's going along with it, but his expression, looking out at
us, makes him look like he suspects
something's up!) I pulled out my Kraft paper for this one to keep the focus on the scene rather than a bunch of other colors or patterns. The swirly lines and hearts image were perfect with the little string I drew, so I stamped that in
Versamark on my Kraft Base and followed the line with some black dots (tied that in around my mat and with the dotted ribbon, too) these endless trails take you round and
round the card! Hearts were accented the
Inkssentials white pen. I love Kraft, black and white together.
Here is a closeup of the images (stamped in
Memento Black on
Gina K Pure Luxury 80 lb white CS). I colored them with
Copics, the shadows were done with C-3 Cool Gray. I love how the little stripey tabby turned out, have fun adding spots and stripes to your open line art stamp images for a new look!
Thank you so much for following my crafting adventures each day! ;)
