Cat House!


This card was made using stamps I got from a cardmaking magazine - images & words (Cardmaking and Papercraft Vol 204 (Jan 2020).  I heat embossed the stamped images with clear powder before coloring with my Inktense and Watercolor pencils.  The "wallpaper" is hand drawn on the plain white card after the main elements were in the room.  The patterned paper used for the mat was an old HOTP pattern.  I was working to fulfill a couple of challenges, so added two sequins to hold up the "picture" on the wall to fulfill the final necessary element of the challenge.  After taking the picture, but before I mailed it, I added "shadowing" by the plaque on the wall & the picture on the fireplace mantle.  That helped create a more cohesive look.
