Sunny Studio Stamps - Right as Rain

Sunny Studio Stamps | Playful Cats in Cupcakes

Hello! Step into a world of whimsy with a birthday card featuring the Sunny Studio Stamps Birthday Cat stamp set. This card captures the playful essence of cats nestled within scrumptious cupcakes, brought to life with watercolors.

To begin, stamp Birthday Cat images with Versafine on Arches Cold Press watercolor paper; heat set. Color images with watercoloring mediums of choice. (Check out my “Resources for Watercoloring Stamped Images” HERE.) Once dry, cut with coordinating dies.
Create A2 card base and cover with gingham patterned paper.
Next, apply white pigment ink on to light teal cardstock with a stencil in the Cloud Background set. Once dry, cut with 3 1/4 x 4 3/4 stitched rectangle die.
Stamp Birthday Cat sentiment on to gray cardstock. Cut with the same stitched rectangle die, leaving room below the sentiment for die-cut letters. Trim top to create a horizon line and add to the cloud background panel. Add assembly to card base.
Cut “MEOW” from white glitter foam (non-glitter side up) with the Art Impressions Journal Letter die set. Add below “the party starts.”
With the Lawn Fawn Party Balloons set, cut balloons and strings. Assemble and add to card.
Add watercolored cats to card, propping up the cat in center with foam adhesive.

I previously shared cards with the Birthday Cat stamp set HERE and HERE.
