Cat’s Night Out – Tutorial #503

Hey There,

Today’s tutorial is a fun little night time project using one of the coolest Stampin’ Up sets, C is for Cat that will be retired at the end of May, 2012.   Sad to see stamp sets go, because they are like old friends, but boy oh boy is it exciting to see new sets.   You can check out all the soon to be retired stamp sets here so get out that wish list:

Started with a 3.25″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White Card Stock.  Added a 1 3/4″ circle punched from the sticky part of a post it note to mask for the moon.

Brayered Pacific Point from the top of the card stock.

Brayered Night of Navy at the top of the card stock.

Removed the moon mask.  Punched a 1 3/4″ circle from a piece of card stock and lined the negative image up with the moon and sponged Peach Parfait ink around the circle leaving the middle of the moon light.

Stamped the cat with Basic Black ink and then colored in the color and eye of the cat with a Basic Black marker to make it a solid image.

Masked with post it notes for the post the cat is sitting on and sponged Basic Black ink in the unmasked area.

Added White Gel pen for highlights around the cat.

Added a 5″ x 6.5″ piece of Basic Black card stock, a 4.75″ x 6.25″ piece of Pacific Point DSP, 3.5″ x 4.25″ piece of Basic Black and a 3″ x 5″ piece of Pacific Point card stock that has been put through the crimper.  Hello crimper, where have you been hiding, grin.  Don’t you just love pulling out a tool you haven’t seen in a while!

Die cut stars from Whisper White card stock using the Stars die and Big Shot Machine.

Punched 3/8″ circles from the bottom of the crimped Pacific Point card stock and then started assembling.

Adhered the stars using Stampin’ Dimensionals so they would stand out.  Also added Basic Black brads in the punched holes and a couple of Basic Black strips that have been popped up with Dimensionals for added poles.

Here is the finished project measuring 5″ x 6.5″.

I’m off to teach brayering to some excited students in Sparta, New Jersey.   Can’t wait to get there!

May your weekend be full of pleasant surprises.

Until my next post. . . . .  . . .
