I have been dying to see the new Van Gogh movie Loving Vincent, so I was thrilled to see a fun Van Gogh Kitty in the new release.

Of course I had to do some painting, so I created my background by painting with Color Burst (Violet, Orchid & Ultramarine  Blue) and then used my MISTI to stamp my Van Gogh Kitty in Black Ink.  I used a Paper towel and some water to remove some of the paint from his face area, so it was more visible.

The background is the fabulous Technique Junkies Star Collage Background stamped in Purple and the sentiment is Sky Touches the Sea.

Continuing with vibrant Purples and Blues, I stamped the new gorgeous new Flower Doodles Stamp in Purple ink on a light blue & purple water-colored background.

I stamped it a second time on the same painted background and detail cut the top flower for some dimension accenting it with an Eyelet Outlet sticker gem in the center.  The sentiment from Technique Junkies Welcome Sweet Baby (such a versatile sentiment) was stamped in blue on another scrap of water-colored paper.

My final card today features the fun new Putting on Lipstick (click on the picture to see a larger image).

I stamped and embossed my Putting on Lipstick and then created my soft pink background using Derwent Inktense Blocks.  Next I used my Red Violet Lipstick Crayon to create the darker background highlights (makes me want to try to create with other lipsticks now). 

I finished by using a wet paint brush to add a little Tarnished Brass Distress Crayon for a bit of golden shimmer on the lipstick case.

Additionally, Technique Junkies has bundled the Faith=Hope-Love Background and Image/Sentiment set. It will retail for $23.95 (over a 10% discount) and on top of that it will be 15% off through the 8th (or you can use my discount code for 10% after the 8th).
