Hi my friends, woohoo did you tune in to Saturday's fabulous and fun Facebook Live launch of Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Christmas 2020 release, so many amazing new stamps and stencils and incredibly inspiring samples from the wonderful makers. If you missed it, you can catch up with all the fun over on Tim's blog HERE. Stamping is my jam so I was honoured and thrilled to be invited to make samples for the launch, a huge thank you to Tim, Mario, Paula and Stampers Anonymous for including me in the creative fun. I was giddy with excitement to see another set of Snarky Cats and am sharing the four cards I made, seriously did you think I would be able to choose just one out of this adorable quartet of felines with cat-titude, all ready to make some Christmas mischief.
The colours used are Top Left...Weathered Wood, Speckled Egg and Stormy Sky - Top Right...Black Soot and Fossilized Amber - Bottom Left...Black Soot and Crackling Campfire and Bottom Right...Chipped Sapphire and Dusty Concord. Once I had the colours blended, I removed the moon mask, spritzed around the edge of the moon with water and let the inks run into the moon to create a moody spooky effect. Leaving the snow border mask in place at this stage means that the snow area will stay white - you don't want drips of ink ruining your pristine piste.
To finish I added dots of Distress Collage Medium Matte on the bottom of the panels, sprinkled with Distress Mica Flakes and matted the panels on to 4" x 6" white card blanks.
I'll be back soon to share more makes with the Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous 2020 Christmas Collection and back tomorrow to share my DT project for Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, which, as it happens, also features a Snarky Cat.
