Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur….
Recently a fantastic artist friend of mine had one of her cats pass away. I used this adorable kitty stamp to create her and her husband a Pet Sympathy card. I always agonize over cards I make for “arty” friends, I feel like the pressure in on! The front of the card is kind of generic, but I used this great Judith & Heather sentiment stamp called Paw Prints on the inside, it reads “May paw prints be forever on your heart”. I picked it up at a stamp show in Mesa, AZ last year.
I have not used the stipple technique in a while. I still struggle with uniform dots vs. blobs! However, this little kitty didn’t turn out too bad if I do say so myself!
I wanted to use the cute heart stamp as my embellishment, so after I stamped, colored and cut them out I added some Judikins Diamond Glaze. It does not photograph well! 🙁 But it gives your design a little dimension and shine, literally a “diamond glaze“!
