Some of the cutest stamp sets in the catalogs are sometimes in the Host Rewards section. And due to that they are often overlooked. Today I am sharing one of those for a quick card.
Stamp Set
This card is a one stamp set card using the Sit Stay Relax stamp set from Host Rewards in the Annual Catalog. Since I have cats, it was a must have for me. There is a dog sitting in a chair as well. Sitting and reading is my great passion next to stamping. So between that and the love of cats, this card was born. And the fact it is a one stamp set card is always a plus!
The chair and the cat in it was stamped using Soft Succulent. Of course that would not work for a cat color. So I used my Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker and went over the cat outline. He is then colored using a Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blend. After seeing how well Smoky Slate pairs with the Soft Succulent, I used that for the sentiment as well.
Here is one of my cats doing the Sit , Stay, and Relax thing!
Papers
When looking for a complimentary DSP to the Soft Succulent, I found this piece of the Texture Chic Designer Series paper. I love the different shades of color plus the pop of gold. To add a little more of the gold, I added the strip of the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper. This is by far my favorite gold ever! The different look is wonderful and it is not overly shiny.
Finishes
To finish the card I decided the focal layer needed some fancying to go along with the beautiful DSP. With the help of the Very Best Trio Punch that was achieved. Note: You need to practice with the punch to see how to get the same image each time. It can go in two different directions.
The final touch was to give that large piece of White some bling. That was accomplished with the 2021-2023 Opal Rounds embellishments. These compliment the gold in the papers and sort of ground the focal layer.
