Todays card is one of my favourite layouts, bold sentiment and a cute character...
I started by die cutting the Mama Elephant Happy Birthday die out of white cardstock three times and blended blueprint sketch and tumbled glass Distress Oxides for an ombre effect.
I stamped the sweet kitty on white cardstock, coloured with Prisma pencils and fussy cut him out, he's from an MFT set called Pawty Time designed by Stacey Yacula as is the stamped sentiment.
To get a nice gloss finish to the die cut I heat embossed it with clear powder several times and added the puddy tat to the side with 3D foam.
