An A-Door-Able Card



This is my first sample of Clear Dollar Stamps' set "I A-Door You." I love word play, so the sayings in this set, as well as many of the CDS sets, are just right up my alley.

ALL CDSTAMPS USED: I A-Door You
CS and PAPERS: dark brown textured, sunny yellow, white
INK: Memento Tuxedo Black Ink
MARKERS (if any): Copics Y26 and Y15, Prismacolor markers
EMBELLISHMENTS and TOOLS: pop dots, brads, embroidery floss, Nestabilities Labels Three, dp by Paper Studio

I used the sketch on Midnight Madness Sketch for this week. I decided to use brown metallic brads and embroidery floss to create the lattice background. I used pop dots to create a paper tole card and create the effect that the top part of the door is actually opened. The door frame has two layers and the bottom section of the door and cat are three layers deep.

Thanks for dropping by my door step!
