Materials

Instructions

1. Firstly, stamp Cat with Message onto white card and cut a rectangle around the image measuring approximately 10cm x 8.5cm. Next, colour in the cat using ProMarkers. To do this, take your Greys set, and use Cool Grey 1 as a base layer all over the cat.

Add shading using Cool Grey 3 or 4 around the edge. Use Cool Grey 1 over the top, to blend the shading together. Next, colour the ears, nose and heart with Blossom and Rose Pink from your 12 set of ProMarkers.

2. Draw some dashes around the edge of the panel with the Blossom pen. Layer this white card panel onto a slightly larger rectangle of pink card, then layer this onto a slightly larger rectangle of white card.

3. Cut and fold some white card to make an A6 card blank measuring approximately 15cm x 11.5cm, then attach a piece of polka dot paper approximately 3mm smaller than the front of the card on all sides. Add a 1.5cm wide strip of grey card and a stamped greeting as shown.

4. Place the card blank lengthways with the fold at the top. Attach the cat image panel using sticky pads, overlapping the edge, as shown. Add pearls on each corner of the polka dot paper, a sprinkle of glitter on the cat's tummy and tail, and a ribbon bow to finish. Purrfect!
