I just got the new Paper Smooches Feline Friends stamp set, so it was an obvious choice to ink up. I love when solid stamps ink so nicely the first time! To really give the silhouette some dimension, I heat embossed with liquid glass embossing powder -- it adds extra thickness and shine. The sentiment is embossed with regular clear embossing powder. I wasn't entirely sure how it would go, stamping over the washi tape, but everything worked very nicely. The main panel is popped up on the grey card base for a clean, simple, classy card.
For more inspiration, be sure to check out the CASology challenge post. And if you wish to go with another meaning of the cue word, I for one can't wait to see it!
Supplies: white & Stampin' Up basic grey cardstock, Paper Smooches feline Friends & Memory Box Happy Birthday stamps, Memento Luxe tuxedo black ink, clear and liquid glass embossing powders, Little B thin silver strip washi tape, dimensionals
