Hi
everyone,
Donna
here today showcasing some of the exciting new products from That’s Crafty! and
I can tell you they’re wonderful ;)
What to do:
Use
one of the new white/greyboard GiganTAGS, these are HUGE so plenty of space to go
wild on it!
I
decided to use Gelato’s on this so I gave it a coat of clear Gesso first as
they blend so much better on it.
I
drew the cat but you can use a stamp, stencil or anything you like.
Start
colouring in the background and cat with a selection of Gelato’s, use a
squeezed out baby wipe too as that helps with the blending.
I
used a Dinky stencil for the background for which I pounced a Distress Oxide
through it.
Now
because I have a slightly weird view on things, I decided the feather greyboard
embellishments would make perfect whiskers and a name tag so I set about
painting them with the new shimmer paints from That’s Crafty! these are
amazing, the shimmer is something else.
Before
you adhere the ‘whiskers’ go over the cat with a black pencil just to make him
stand out more. I’ve learnt my lesson the hard way not to ruin fine liner pens
on top of Gelatos!
Now
you can adhere the whiskers to the ginger cat with his little name tag. Stamp
the word quirky from the Fern stamp set and add a couple of sentiments from Tim
Holtz.
There
you have a delicious shade of marmalade cat which funnily seems to look like my
cat Fred….strange…..
Supplies Used:
Hope
you like it
