Good morning folks, I've got just a minute to share another peek of the new animal stamps coming out at Lili of the Valley in a couple of weeks. These adorable little kitties are called 'Fur Cones'.
Guess how I colored them? No, not Copics this time, I used Distress inks. With a paint brush. A short stubby flat paintbrush and I dry brushed with NO water. Very cool, but time consuming. It's actually a great way to use your Distress Inks on DIGI images, because you're not using water, therefore there's no bleeding of printer lines. I just did it because I wanted to get painterly, lol.
The tree cutouts in the BG and the foreground are Silhouette cut files, dusted with Flower Soft.
So what do you think of the upcoming LOTV release? Are you loving the fur babies? pssst....there's a lot more!
Check out my DTmates blogs for more peeks! Find all the links on the Inspire blog.
