This one was made for my 93 year old Mother-in-law who loves the colour green and has a fondness for cats.She did laugh when she read this card.
Which goes to prove this stamp set is suitable for all ages.
It's called Giggle greetings and it's in the 2013/14 catalogue.
(It comes with three other humorous stamps. See below)
to make this card I stamped the cat on to vanilla card stock and again onto thin scrap paper. I cut the cat on the scrap paper applied some two way adhesive to the reverse of the scrap cat and allowed it to dry.
Once the glue was dry, I placed it over the cat I had stamped on the card to mask it .The purpose of this is to keep the cat clean when stamping the brick wall and sponging the grass area.
I inked up the brick wall stamp (which is one of the Cover a Card range of stamps) with creamy caramel ink ( a retired colour from SU) and stamped over the top half of the cat.
To do the grass, I used Pear Pizazz ink a sponge dauber and sponged in the grass area then over stamped it randomly with a small grass tuft stamp using Old Olive ink pad.
Once the wall and grass area were completed I removed the mask from the cat.
The bushes were created using a small foliage stamp which was stamped repeatedly until I was happy with the effect. I used a white gel pen and added some dots on the bushes to give the impression of flowers.
