Hi Everyone, I have sweet Christophe the cat on my card today, he's been loosely watercoloured in some bright colours. He was stamped on watercolour paper and fussy cut. to add the extra detail of the string and the whiskers in I stamped him on the base card and glued him on top.
The background is a gelli plate print using powdered inks (Nuance Powders) spritzed with water and swirled together.
For added interest I stamped the flowers around the edge and the sentiment stamp in the centre, both are stamped with distress oxide. I'll add the sentiment when I'm ready to send the card.

WOW! The NUANCE powders used for the background gave a great effect. The text emerges from the background, as if from behind a delicate muslin. I also love the flowers that complement the background. But it's the sweet cat Christoph who does the most work. What a sweet card, Christine!

Oh my gosh I LOVE this! That cat is just such an eye catcher with the loose watercoloring. As always your background for him is spectacular!
Cute, cute kitty! Love the gel plate background with the stamping that adds great depth!
Love this! Would like to CASE it someday when I'm at your house! I have a friend that would love it as a Christmas card!
Sweet! LOVE how bright and cheery Christophe is. And he looks so happy posing for the card. Pretty background ... now need to try my new mini geli plates with powdered inks. :)
A beautiful calico cat sitting in the box!
