Hello! This card was made for this week's Sketch Challenge and the Tea Party Challenge....
Yesterday, I made a card that featured this little cat inside the teacup from Mark's Finest Papers' Floral Tea. A friend asked me how I could use those images together for a "normal card." Hmmm...I THOUGHT the original card was a "normal card." I guess I'm now making ABnormal cards....Interesting. I'll have to think about that later. Besides, I'm sending this one out to a VERY good buddy tomorrow! She'd never accuse me of being anything CLOSE to normal! LOL
I used 3 stamp sets from Mark's Finest Papers for this card. The cat is from More of Speedy the Cat's Friends. He was stamped in Noir onto Snow Storm Smooth. Today, I used my Heat Tool to dry the ink. I colored in the fur with several Copics. (E00, E01, E31, E17, BG15, BG23.)The sentiment and butterfly are a sneak peek of MFP's Garden Fairies.)
I cut out all three images. images. The Cat image is a walking cat. So, I taped it to the back of the cup and trimmed away the back end. Next, the paws were sticking out of the side of the cup, so I snipped them off and put one coming out of the top of the cup. I used a Black Memento Marker to fill in the edge of the image that had been cut.
I ran the solid panels through a Sizzix Texture Folder.
What do you think?

Wow! What a fantastic card! Love that you include the details so we can appreciate how you got to where it is (especially re the cat image you started with and then ended up with in the tea cup). The colours are beautiful - just love it!
