Hmm.... then it suddenly occurred to me this week to just stick it to an acrylic block with Pritt Stick glue :) et voila!!!! I just cleaned both with a 'baby-wipe' afterwards.
I'll see if I can find the Ebay shop again, if any of you would like to go and browse there....
****UPDATE: The Ebay shop is Nella's Corner- click the link, write 'cat' in her search box and it goes straight to this stamp. It costs £2.99 :) ****
I stamped onto beige card with black India ink, then tore the edges and rubbed with a brown chalk inkpad.
- There is a slight wavy pattern in the background to the cat, this was me doodling with a clear SakuraGlaze pen :)
- The lovely background paper is from a Papermania 50 sheet 6x6 pack, called Oriental Spice.
- I've gone over some of the pattern in the green paper with a Sakura Stardust pen in clear, so in the sun this is quite glittery.
- The ribbon is from a local haberdashery, who always have an enormous basket of 10m bundles for 50p each.

That's a beautiful stamp Helena. I'd love to know the name of the Ebay shop if you find it :o)
ReplyDeleteVery smart card! I love the cat stamp, of course - looks a bit like a Gladys Tabor drawing. Do you know of her?
ReplyDeleteI once had bath towels with her cat drawings - actually I still have one or two, and I bought them 35 years ago!!
I'm sure your brother will be honored.
That is a very neat card. i am sure David will like it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Helena!
ReplyDeleteGreat card Helena, I love the cat image and the distressing and the muted colours...it has a lovely vintage look. Beautiful details inside the card too. Debbie x
