Purrfect Birthday CAS(E)#95 MtDSTechnique VVC#8

Masking and more and more masking, this card contains 3 types! Embossing and embossing, yes you guessed it, this card contains 2 types! I started out by masking off a rectangular section of my stencil with painter's tape and applied the embossing paste. While this was drying I created a party hat mask with post-it note tape, stamped up my images and coloured in my tabby cat. I've kept the mask with my stamp set so I can use it again. The sentiment is a combination of two sets, I masked out the word halloween with washi tape before inking in versamark, removed the tape, stamped and embossed on vellum. The birthday was then stamped and embossed. The sentiment was stamped and embossed in two stages as I didn't want to smudge the almost invisible versamark.

This card is a refinement of my last card. I wanted to use a more subdued palette and have a go at some masking. I've used CAS(E) this sketch #95 for the layout,  kept it clean and simple for Virginia' View Challenge #8 and tried a few techniques for Make the Day Special's October Challenge.

Academic Autumnal Thanks

More fun playing with CTS#78 and Make the Day Special's Colour Scheme B: carrot colours. With the new academic year approaching I thought I'd better tackle some thank you cards and nothing means back to school like stomping through leaves on your way there! I've distressed my embossing paste, card and label with Antique Linen Distress Ink and coloured the leaves with lots of messy distress inks (I'm still cleaning my hands!) and a spritz of glimmer mist which I've also used as the splatters from the sketch.
