OOOPSY. Meowch

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Greetings! You've got Kathi here to share a wintry card created for our December Anything Goes Challenge 204 with Carrie's Yoga Cat 10 Rubber Stamp by Lost Coast Designs.


Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp Carrie's Yoga Cat 10 twice — once onto a white cardstock panel and once onto repositionable sticker paper.

Use Copic markers to color the cat. Add a Copic marker outline around the cat with B41 and BG11. Use a white gel pen to add highlights to the cat's pupils.

Fussy-cut the sticker paper version  of the cat and place it atop its counterpart on the image panel as a mask. 

Place a piece of acetate horizontally across the image panel so that the top edge of the acetate lies just above his hind legs. Secure with low-tack tape and/or magnets.

Brush blue dye ink over the acetate and the masked cat to start a background. The sky was a bit too light and blue so I brushed Milled Lavender Distress Ink over the blue ink. 

Remove, clean, and dry the acetate panel. Position the panel again so that its bottom edge is sitting on the ink line and the acetate itself is covering the top of the image panel.

Use a sponge dauber to heavily apply Pearlescent Ice Blue Brilliance Ink over the edge of the acetate and the masked cat. Continue to apply the ink until the bottom of the image panel is covered. Use a soft cloth to wipe off the excess ink. 

Use another sponge dauber to apply Moonlight White Brilliance Ink over the the Ice Blue Ink. Remove the acetate and heat set the panel.

Place a snowflake stencil over the image panel and secure with low-tack tape and/or magnets.

Sponge White Hybrid Ink over the stencil onto the image panel. Keeping the stencil in place, sponge White Shimmer Delicata Ink to add some shimmer to the snowflakes.

Remove the stencil and heat set the image panel.

Remove the mask from the cat and use a white Posca Paint Pen to add "snow" to the cat and to add additional dotty snowflakes to the background.

Use alphabet dies to cut grey cardstock to form the the sentiments. Use a speech bubble die to cut silver glitter cardstock.

Adhere the "OOPSY" sentiment to the top left of the image panel. Adhere the word "Meowch" to the speech bubble. Adhere the speech bubble to the image panel.

Use an A6 Frame Die to cut grey cardstock. Adhere the frame over the image panel. Adhere the framed image panel to a grey A6 card. Use Silvery Shimmer Delicata Ink to edge the card. Heat set.

You have a few more days to participate in our December Anything Goes Challenge 204 for the chance to win Lo$t Coa$t Ca$h!
