Mystical cats

Good Morning everyone

I was given a fabulous magic cat stamp set by funky fossil for my birthday, so ive used them on a few halloweenish cards.


Approx size 7x5" card base made from white card using stitched nesting dies.  I die cut a smaller label shape from white card and  and inked with green and orange brusho powder and red pixie powder.  Once die i stamped the cat image in black and stamped it a 2nd time onto white, from the white version i cut out the cat head and skull and decoupaged over the base image with blue gell.  I just added a little touch of colour to the cats eyes, leaving the rest white so it stands out against the colourful background.

I stamped one of the sentiments and bottles from the set onto white, added a little colour, cut out and adhered to the card front. Glossy accents added to the cats eyes to finish.

The mica in the red pixie powder really comes to life when the light hits it

Version 2 using another image in the set

Card size approx 5x5"   Made the same way as card 1, this time using mango pixie power.  I wanted the effect of the cats head sort out peeking out of a portal or such which is flooded with light so kept the orange and mango to the middle area.  I picked out the detail in the image using white and yellow posca pens


Gone with a blue background here and mango pixie powder

and cat image 3


again made the same way.

These are very different images to anything i have in my stash and these funky fossil stamps are such good quality, always giving a perfect image first time. The floral and foliage detail in the cats on the last 2 is lovely and i think suitable for various occasions.  Not sure about the 1st image with the skull - a bit limiting I think, however the skull could be covered by a flower or something.  

Items Used:
Funky Fossil stamp set 'Feline Magic' by Olga Heldwein
Brusho powders
Cosmic shimmer pixie powders
Nesting dies

Thank you all for  stopping by once again. Emma

I love to enter the first card in the following:

The Cat images are so realistic and you have showcased them so beautifully Emma. Don't own many FF stamps but agree on the quality.
