I made two cards, one with kitties and one with a chameleon.
The process is the same, just different stamps and colors.
I started by positioning my kitties (C.C. designs meowy) into my Stamper's Friend and inked them with Versafine Onyx black ink.
I added the sentiment from Simon Says Stamp (it's your birthday) and also used Versafine onyx black ink.
Then I chose three colors of brown , As I wanted to keep the card a one layer, I didn't want to use my markers and I thought this would look artsy ;-), something different. I contemplated black, and greys as well, but I felt this was more monochrome. Of course you could all do them the same color as well. I like how the coloring is not perfect and the white bits look like spots on the cats :-DMemento dewdrops ( rich cocoa, espresso truffle and toffee crunch) and I used one of the brush stroke stamps from Marianne designs (Eline's brush ec0161)line's brush ec0161)
No enamel dots for this card as I didn't have any browns.
The Chameleon card is done in the same manner, but different supplies:
Brush is Marianne Designs- Eleine's Brush Ec0161
Memento inks- Pear tart, Bamboo leaves and cottage ivy.
Generic green and glittery enamel dots
Also Versafine onyx black ink for the sentiment and image.

ReplyDeleteLove your two takes on our challenge, Maiike ! Love this artsy look with just a brush stroke stamp to colour them. And I love the kitties stamp, so cute ! My cat looks a lot like the first on the left: gray with white socks, the tip of the tail white and the bottom of the jaws white ! Thanks so much for being our talented guest designer for this challenge. xx
