Happy National Cat day

Today is National cat day, and in honor of that ...There is a new release by Shari Baldy... and the theme is cats... I got to play with this awesome image... I do not have a link to it since it was not added to the store when I did this card... I colored my image with copic markers.

This is what I used to make this card in copic colors.

my supplies are

Copic pens see above
foil teal tape
Spare parts vintage purple flowers
Distress inks
 peacock feathers
 picked raspberry
 Spun Sugar
 Dusty concord
Spellbinders Paisley embossing folder A side
glue
double stick tape
White card stock
Dark Purple card stock
light purple card stock
Distress ink applicator mini
teal enamel drops

 after printing the image the first step was to color the  image
Then I just used a paper cutter and trimmed it to the size I wanted... then I added distress ink using picked raspberry and spun Sugar.... my applicator was dirty... oops so it also blended in other colors and I liked the look..

Then I started on my background.
I trimmed a piece of light purple card stock to the size I wanted...
then using distress ink peacock feathers, raspberry and dusty concord... I applied ink to the inside of the embossing folder.. this is what you get

Then I wanted to highlight some of the areas... so I took the raspberry and added some ink to the some of the raised areas on the background. and added the teal foil tape and mounted it on the dark purple paper.

then I did some direct to paper  on my white base card stock...  direct to paper is when you take your ink pad and apply it directly to your paper.  I did this with the peacock feathers.

Then I started to assemble the card

last but not least I added the flower and the enamel drops
