Hello! Today I am sharing an adorable birthday card featuring two feline friends ready for a purr-fect party. These charming cats, stamped with the Sunny Studio Stamps Birthday Cat set, have been brought to life with watercoloring. This card would be perfect for any cat lover or someone who appreciates adorable and whimsical designs.
I paired the Birthday Cat set with other supplies from my stash to help bring the scene to life. This stamp set, and the coordinating die set, are my first ever Sunny Studio Stamps supplies. I just could not resist the cute illustrations.
- Stamp Birthday Cat images on Arches Cold Press watercolor paper with VersaFine ink; heat set.
- Color images with watercoloring mediums of choice. Once dry, cut with coordinating dies. Check out this post on watercoloring stamped images.
- To create the background within the circle, add Tumbled Glass and Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide inks to white cardstock, using a piece of vellum as a mask while applying the inks. Once dry, stencil clouds with white pigment ink using one of the Lawn Fawn Cloud Background stencils.
- Cut balloons with dies in the Lawn Fawn Party Balloons set from cardstock to which Distress Oxide inks have been applied. Cut balloon strings from white cardstock, glue to balloons, and trim as necessary.
- Stamp sentiment from the Let’s Celebrate set in black on red cardstock. Cut a 2 1/2 inch circle from the stamped panel with die in the Everlasting Circles set. Cut panel again with a rectangular stitched die, measuring 4 x 5 1/4 inches. I used one from a now-retired My Favorite Things Blueprints die set.
- Adhere frame to the stenciled scene background and the assembly to a card base of Bazzill Canvas cardstock.
- Add cats and balloons to scene with foam and dot adhesive.
Adorable! Love the blue background with the clouds stenciled on it. Very subtle!
Oh my goodness…you know I’d be loving these two sweet kitties!
Adorable kitty pair with balloons, Jean – perfect in “your” colors!!
