Snarky Cats Birthday Cards

 Just two simple, but fun, birthday cards with Snarky Cats.


For the first card I used Distress Ink Shabby Shutters for the background. I blended the ink in the middle of the paper, sprayed some water and made some splashes. It is a simple technique but the results are beautiful and fun.


I stamped the cat and the balloon with embossing ink and used black embossing power, I then colored the cat with Distress Ink Vintage Photo and de balloon with Distress Ink Shabby Shutters,  and fuzzy cut the two images. I tied some string between the balloon and the cat and stuck them to the background with foam tape. The sentiment is also done with embossing ink and black embossing powder.


For the second card I used Distress Ink Vintage Photo and Chipped Sapphire and Disstress Oxide Vintage Photo and Chipped Sapphire. First I blended the Distress Ink on the paper and sprayed some water. After drying it, I 'smashed' some Oxide on my craft sheet and sprayed this with water. I then dipped the paper in the ink. 



The cat was created the same way as the first card but I only fussy cat the balloon. I cut out the image of the cat in a square and rounded the corners. I put some ink around the edges and sprayed this with water. The rest I left white to create some contrast. The sentiment was done the same way.


Just love those Snarky Cats.
