Penny Black Balancing Act (Here Kitty, Kitty!)

May 4, 2018 by Nanette

For all you cat-lovers out there, this one is for you! Even if you’re not, you would probably agree that this is a pretty cute stamp and know of someone who would love this card 🙂

This stamp set is Penny Black’s Balancing Act. I stamped the image on white cardstock with Gina K’s Jet Black Amalgam Ink. This ink works well with both water-based and alcohol markers. I colored using Stampin’ Up’s Alcohol Markers and then hand-cut the image.

All the papers, including the piece with the stamped sentiment is from Carta Bella’s Spring Market 6×6 Paper Pad. After trimming to size, these pieces were glued to my black-on-white card base. Then I adhered the colored image using dimensional foam dots.

And that’s it! 🙂

Have a great day!

Nanette

    Hello ,

    I saw your tweet about animals and thought I will check your website. I like it!

    I love pets. I have two beautiful thai cats called Tammy(female) and Yommo(male). Yommo is 1 year older than Tommy. He acts like a bigger brother for her. 🙂
    I have even created an Instagram account for them ( https://www.instagram.com/tayo_home/ ) and probably soon they will have more followers than me (kinda funny).

    I have subscribed to your newsletter. 🙂

    Keep up the good work on your blog.

    Regards
    Wiki
