jUst pUrrFeCt...

This week, I am feeling adventurous, looking to try a new technique (i.e. colour-embossing). I was slightly apprehensive initially as there could be discoloration on the embossing folder if things were to go wrong. However, all went well and we have 'Just Purrfect' this week.

For the colour-embossing technique, the embossing folder (Cuttlebug 'Kimmy Luvs') was first inked in Memento Lady Bug and then embossed onto a white cardstock to give red-bordered loves. This was then framed by a deep brown cardstock to give a highlight feature. Next, a feline (by We R Memory Keepers - Tiffany Collection 'Purrfect clear stamps') was inked in Memento Tuxedo Black and pencil-coloured. She was then accessorised with multi-colour gemstones (by Anita's) around the cat collar and blue gemstones for the eyes. The feline was then stuck onto the embossed love frame with 3D foam stickers.

The card was assembled as follow: Pink/brown stripy ribbon (by American Crafts Premium Ribbon) to create a L-shape border, which was then accessorised with a 1.5 cm love brad and 7 gemstones (colour-coordinated with the feline's collar). The framed feline was then positioned in the middle, with a 'just purrfect' phrase adhered to the top as a final touch.

So, for a perfect one, with all my love...
