Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge over at Seize the Birthday!
There are lots of fabulous ideas for inspiration from the design team, so I hope you can play along.
The topping option this time is stamping only,
or, play along with the anything option, so long as it's a birthday theme.
I've gone with the anything goes option since I've used diecut balloons in addition to stamping, I don't think I have any balloon stamps, might need to rectify that lol!
I've seen a few variations of this Katzelkraft cat with balloons, the tail is just the perfect anchor for them!
The cat is stamped in versafine ink, clear embossed, fussycut and coloured with Primacoloue pencils.
The balloons are diecut from some colourful card scraps and I drew the strings attaching them to the tail with a fine point sharpie. The cat and some of the balloons are popped up on foam dots for dimension.
I'm also linking up to these challenges:
Show us your pussycats , a new to me challenge,
where a cat has to be the focal point on your project.
Die Cuttin Divas where the theme is birthday, and you need to use at least one diecut on your project.
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday where the theme is clean and simple.
It's also clean and simple at Addicted to Stamps & More.
Supplies:
Katzelkraft cat stamp: Happy Little Stampers sentiment stamp from doodled flowers; versafine ink & clear ep; Paper Smooches balloons die; Prismacolour pencils.
Thanks for visiting,

How cute Cathy, and the idea of tying the balloons around the cat's tail is such fun, and good contrast with the more subdued colouring for the cat, and then the bright die cut balloons. x
