Love Cats Meet Country Gingham Clean and Simple

by Joanne James11. January 2023 20:54

Today I'm sharing a quick clean and simple card for this week's colour challenge over at TGIF Challenges:

 

I thought this trio of colours would be perfect for a card using the new 'Love Cats' stamp set and a piece of Country Gingham paper in Balmy Blue - take a look:

 

This card really did come together in a flash; I stamped the cat image partially onto white cardstock and partially onto the gingham (your Stamparatus will make light work of this) and butted both pieces together and adhered to a thick white cardbase:

 

I masked off the hearts so that I could stamp them in separately in pink and masked and partially stamped the sentiment - this is a great way to make what is a Valentine's sentiment something more generic.

I really love this set - I am not a cat lover at all, but these quirky felines are so fun!

Here is the visual summary of the key products used on today's project for you to pin for easy reference:

 

You can see all of my 'How To' summaries on my 'How To - Tips and Techniques' Pinterest board in case you've missed any. 

Enjoy your day and I'll be back tomorrow with another project. Until then, happy stampin'!

Love this one, Joanne, not least of all because I had a black cat silhouette just like this that used to sit on the door frame of my craft room. Sadly, the tail broke off when I was  moving house and I had to throw it out.
