Looking for a special card for the cat-lover in your life? Make your own! It’s super easy to do with this whimsical stamp set featuring this cute kitty image! This Card is sure to please even the most discriminating cat-lover!
I started with a simple color combination of Smoky Slate, Pool Party, and Pale Papaya.
If you prefer a bright color combination, make sure you check out my Color Combination Library – there are many different combinations that will work!
For the card design, I wanted something super simple so that I could get the card in the mail! 😀 I pulled out my Cut & Emboss Machine and one of my favorite label dies, and bam! All the layers were cut and done. If you don’t have a die-cut machine, no worries. Simply cut the Basic White cardstock to 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ and the Pool Party cardstock to 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4! Easy peasy!
But what makes this card is the adorable image cat image from the Catch You Later Stamp Set. I kept the coloring simple by using Watercolor Pencils – very quick & easy! You can see more samples I’ve made with this stamp set here.
