For Day 2, we are showcasing the Captivated Kittens stamp set and its coordinating dies.
I started by creating the background panel with Canson Watercolor Paper and Prima watercolors. I used a wide watercolor brush to apply water first. Next, I added the colors in rainbow order, swiping the brush back and forth until I was happy with the blend. I set this panel aside to let it dry for about 45 minutes and adhered on an A-2 size notecard.
I stamped the images on some Neenah solar white card stock and colored the images in with Spectrum Noir TriBlend markers. I used the coordinating die to cut them all out. I also die-cut the little reverse scallop circles on Neenah using a die from my collection.
Next, I foam-mounted the scallop circle frames and the colored images on the focal panel for added dimension.
I added the sentiment that was stamped with Versamark ink, and heat-embossed with my heating tool. I also used my gelli-roll pen in white and black to add details to the eyes and the flower.
I finished my design by adhering the mirrored sequins for added interest. Here’s another look at the card:
