Instructions: Cut a piece of white cardstock to 10 x 7" size, score and fold at 5" to create card base. Cut the paper shown, from the Purr-fect Posies paper collection to 6 7/8" x 4 7/8" size panel. Use the largest circle from HCD1-7155 Circle Basics Large Die to diecut an opening in panel as pictured and save cutout circle piece. Use the largest eyelet circle from HCD1-7154 Eyelet Circle & Basics Small Die to diecut a circle from white cardstock. Next use the afore mentioned large circle die to diecut the center of white eyelet circle, creating a very petite eyelet frame. Attach this frame around the circle opening of paper panel and discard remnant white circle. Very lightly sponge the edges of the panel with Majestic Violet ink and lay aside.
Stamp the swinging kitties from HCPC-3875 Purr-fect Playdate Cling Stamp Set in Archival Coffee ink onto white cardstock and diecut with coordinating die. Stamp the 2nd largest posies from HCPC-3874 Purr-fect Posies Cling Stamp Set in Forget-Me-Not ink onto Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper and diecut with coordinating die. Stamp 2nd smallest posies in Vibrant Fuchsia ink, smallest posies in Majestic Violet, and leaves in Leaf Green from same stamp set onto white cardstock and diecut with coordinating dies. Stamp the vining posies from HCPC-3876 Purring and Playful Cling Stamp Set in Leaf Green onto white cardstock and diecut with coordinating die. Stamp the petite leaves from HCPC-3801 Simply Classic Cling Stamp Set in Leaf Green onto white cardstock and diecut with coordinating die.
Use the Zig markers along with blender to color in the detailed areas on the swinging kitties. The following markers were used, Mid Gray, Light Violet, Light Carmine, Olive Green and Light Green. Sponge the 2 of the 2nd largest posies with Forget-Me-Not in the center and lightly with Vivid Chartreuse on the edges. Sponge 2 of the 2nd smallest posies with Vibrant Fuchsia in the centers. Sponge the 3 smallest posies lightly with Cactus Flower ink in the centers. For the vining posies, sponge with Vibrant Fuchsia and Cactus Flower ink. Use Leaf Green and Vivid Chartreuse on the leaves.
Place the posies and posy leaves into the Purr-fect Posies Shaping Mold. Lightly mist with water before sending through the diecutting machine. Layer the two 2nd largest posies together. Pierce the center of all the posies and thread stamens through and attach with hot glue.
Temporarily place your kitty paper panel onto your card base. Attach the kitty paper circle through the opening directly onto the card base. Use double dots to attach the swinging kitties onto the circle. Cut a piece of clear cardstock to 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 " size and attach to the backside of circle opening on kitty paper panel. Now use a double layer of double dots to attach the kitty paper panel onto card base. Cut a sentiment from the paper collection and very lightly sponge the edges with Majestic Violet ink and attach onto card as pictured. Arrange and attach the posies and leaves onto the card as shown. Use the Dries Clear glue along with Crystal glitter to add a sparkle over the posies, leaves and rest of card as desired.
