Cat & Ice Cream Cards by August Guest Designer Kara Pogreba


Ice cream, need I say more?  No, but of course I will! Today, Newton and his ice cream from the Newton's Summer Treats Stamp Set take center stage! This first card features Newton, stamped in light orange, and colored with Copics and a few colored pencils to create some texture on his fur.  The upper sentiment is from the Birthday Essentials Stamp Set and is woven on top of the main panel, but below the frame from the Framework Die Set. The other strips of pink paper lie underneath the panel.  The lower sentiment is from Newton's Summer Treats.

On this second card, Newton and the sentiment are stamped in black and colored in Copics.  The green background was inked in two colors of Distress ink using the lower portion of the Bubbly Stencil. I gave Newton a wonky cut panel using one the the Framework Die Set dies, and raised it up with fun foam.

  11. If I wasn't writing, I'd be speechless, Kara! Spectacular colouring ... I can almost reach out and give Newton a stroke on both these delicious cards ... and I'd certainly take a spoonful (or more!) of that scrumptious ice cream! Hugs, Anita :)
