Laundry Cat

Hi there,

the Gerda Steiner Designs February/March Digital Stamp Bundle is available and this is my first creation using one of the fabulous images:

• color the adorable Cat on Laundry Basket which is available as part of the February/March Digital Stamp Bundle with Copic, Delta, DIY and Touch Twin Brush Markers
• cut a stitched panel from watercolor paper and stamp a little scene using images from the Paper Smooches Squeaky Clean set and Versafine (Onyx Black)
• color these background images with Stabilo Aquacolor Pencils and a damp watercolor brush
• stamp the sentiment from the Gerda Steiner Designs Monster Fun set with Versafine (Imperial Purple)
• add little tiles with the help of the Memory Box Distressed Grid stencil and Distress Ink (Pumice Stone)
• add Glossy Accents to the washing machine door and add a little yellow enamel dot as its handle
• mount the panel onto a kraft cardbase

Thanks for stopping by.

Yours,
