I've Got That Lovin' Feline

It's my day to share a project created for Topflight Stamps. This week my teammates and I are showcasing Visible Image's fabulous products. If you've been here before, you know that I'm a cat person, so when I saw the "That Lovin' Feline" Clear Polymer Stamp Set, I knew it would be mine! It features four fabulous cats, a bird, a mouse, a heart cluster, a pawprint, and several fun punny sentiment stamps. 

Here's the card!

Stamping Platform

Instructions:
  1. Cut, score, and fold a piece of dark grey cardstock to create an A6 card. Set aside.
  2. Use a stamping platform and Tuxedo Black Memento ink to stamp the roundest cat stamp from That Lovin' Feline Clear Polymer Stamp Set twice -- once onto white cardstock and once onto repositionable sticker paper. 
  3. Fussy-cut the sticker paper was fussy-cut then place it over its counterpart as a mask.
  4. Position the reclining cat stamp from the same set facedown to the right of the masked cat. 
  5. Use Tuxedo Black Memento ink to stamp it twice -- once onto the image panel and once onto repositionable sticker paper.
  6. Fussy-cut the sticker paper version and place it over its counterpart as a mask.
  7. Place a piece of repositionable tape horizontally across the base of the image panel. 
  8. Brush Pink Jellybean Prism Ink over the masked cats onto the image panel to create a pink background. A happy accident occurred because I didn't realize that there was yellow ink remaining on the tape, which lent a yellowish glow around the cats, which I quite like.
  9. Use magnets to secure the Ripples Stencil over the image panel onto a STAY-tion.
  10. Brush Pink Jellybean Prism Ink over the stencil onto the image panel to create a tone on tone design. 
  11. Use Pink Jellybean Prism Ink to stamp the hearts and pawprints from the That Lovin' Feline Clear Polymer Stamp Set and the musical notes* from the Music On, World Off Clear Polymer Stamp Set by Visible Image onto the image panel. 
  12. Position the "Lovin' Feline" sentiment stamp face-down across the top of the image panel.
  13. Ink the sentiment stamp with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink and stamp.
  14. Lift and retain the masks and the tape.
  15. Use Copic markers to color the cats* and the floor. 
  16. Use the largest scalloped rectangle die from the Card Passe Partout Rectangles Die Set to cut pawprint patterned paper.
  17. Use the stitched frame die from the die set to cut a window in the center of the pawprint panel.
  18. Use the largest plain rectangle die to cut grey cardstock.
  19. Adhere the image panel behind the scalloped pawprint frame die-cut. then mat the combination with the plain grey rectangle.
  20. Adhere the matted, framed panel to the reserved dark grey A6 card.
Notes:
• Domino is a long hair roundish long-haired white cat with a pink nose, pinkish ears, and golden/greenish eyes.
• Harley Quinn is a sleeker (but heavier) short haired white cat with grey markings on her head, neck, nape, and tail. She has a black spot on her nose and has pink and black toe beans. Her eyes are blue around the pupils which fades into green.
• I used music notes because of the song "You've Lost That Loving Feeling".  Enjoy the song.
