As you can see, I've gone for Easter as my holiday. You've seen this little pocket kitten before on cards by my team mates, it's a digital image from our sponsor Deedee's Digis and it really is cute. I used papers from Waltzingmouse Stamps - Folk Art "Clean" - the main paper for the pocket doesn't actually come in pink it's a pretty image in shades of orange and naturals. I edited the paper in Lightroom and came up with a pink that I really like. I printed the image three times on the pink paper, cream and orange, cut them out and layered to create the finished image. I'm submitting this card to Just Us Girls - JUGS#223, this week their technique is to paper piece!
I stamped the large Easter egg on vellum using Versamark, heat embossed with white powder, die cut it and then coloured the back with a copic marker. I attached the pocket kitten to the egg using dimensional gel. I stamped and die cut more eggs, mixing colours and patterns. I finished the front with a simple Easter greeting. The inside has a mat in pink, more eggs on the white panel and a funky greeting!
