I started by colouring A5 watercolour card with a pale pink wash and left to dry.   I trimmed the dry card 10 144mm square.  I attached Clarity Crafts A5 circles stencil to the watercolour card then added Tonic Studios Nuvo Crackle Mousse and put aside.

I die cut Tutti Designs Banner die from a snippet of leftover coloured watercolour card.  I stamped the Clarity Crafts sentiment onto the die cut banner using Versafine Clair Fantasia ink.  I coloured a snippet of grosgrain ribbon with watercolours and dried with a heat tool.  I then distressed parts of the ribbon with water and dried again.

Once the Tonic Studios Nuvo Crackle Mousse had stopped cracking I stamped the Clarity Crafts Wee Cats stamps with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink.   I wrapped the ribbon across the watercolour panel and adhered onto the back.  

I attached my cat stamped background to the 148mm square card.  I added foam pads to the die cut banner and added to the card.  I added my usual finishing touch of Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops.  Back soon x
