Mooch amongst the stars 🌌

Hi everyone, one of my close blogging friends very sadly lost her pet cat just recently, and understandably she was absolutely devastated. So I made her this sympathy/memory card to express my condolences and support. I kept it relatively simple as I always think that’s the best way with sympathy cards, and I envisioned her darling cat gazing at the moon whilst surrounded by a halo of twinkling stars.

I cut a square of white stamping card and created a circle by blending Elements ink around a large circle mask. I stamped Mooch sitting in the corner of the circle, then added a soft hazy moon and wispy clouds with more ink blending. I stamped mini stars around the circle, alternating blue and sparkling silver embossed. Finally I stamped the sentiment in blue, a flock of birds in grey, grounded the cat using a grey Inktense pencil, and matted the finished piece into a dark blue border and card blank.

 

Stamps: Lavinia Mooch, Stars 1 Mini, Birds, Heartfelt Verses;

Media: Lavinia Elements ink (Della Blue); Versafine Clair (Nocturne, Very Peri, Morning Mist, Medieval Blue); Versamark; WOW Silver Sparkle embossing powder.
