Pampered Pets - Cat Stand Card

I saw another Version of this card on Pinterest and loved it so thought I'd re-create in my way. I love how it looks like this dog is patting or perhaps saluting something and the look on this cat's face is priceless so stunned so why not put these 2 together😆.

For the Card base I have used Purple Posy Card stock, this is one of my favourite colours and the colour I have tried to base my Blog design on as a pale colour.

I have simply hand cut the dog out of the Playful Pets Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!'s Pampered Pets Suite of Products. the little ball is also from the same piece of paper so rather than letting it go to waste I thought why not snip it out and add it to the scene.

The Cat Stand was really very easy to create it starts with 2 different sized squares of Smoky Slate Cardstock, on the bottom one I used the 2 Basic Black Stampin Blends to draw the doorway. The darker for the out line and approx 1/3 of the way across the width and up across to the opposite side and coloured in the outer piece, using the Lighter blend I filled in the rest. This effect gives the appearance of depth to the inside of the cat stand. I placed a thin piece of Crumb Cake Cardstock behind this and attached them to the card. I honestly intended to wrap Linen thread around this pillar piece however forgot, lol😆. So instead I drew the lines on using my Dark Soft Suede Stampin' Blend -brush tip, I don't think it looks too bad actually. For the top piece of the cat Stand I trimmed the square shape down to a size that would fit the cat also looking in proportion to the rest of the cat stand, after this I simply trimmed the ends on an angle, both the same way to give it a look of dimension then attached it to the top of the pillar. I then used my Dark Smoky Slate Stampin' Blend - brush tip end - to dot all over the rest of the cat stand to give it the look of fur. Once satisfied I then attached the cat, dog and ball to the card using dimensionals. For the sentiment I used a stamp from the Pampered Pets Stamp set in Smoky Slate on a piece of Blushing Bride Card Stock, I die cut it out using a die from the Hippo And Friends Dies, I cut out a paw on one side of the sentiment using a paw print die from the Pets Dies. I found I could not quite line it up with the other side on the angle I wanted for the opposite side so instead I stamped a paw print in Momento - Tuxedo Black - on the left hand side from the Happy Tails Stamp set. Perhaps the paw could be die cut out before the "frame" for the sentiment, as there are 3 paws on the die I'm not sure.  I then used a sponge dauber to highlight the edges gently using the Smoky Slate Stamp Pad. Using a Real Red stamp pad I stamped the hearts from the stamp set onto the card making sure I had plenty of room for the sentiment laying it on the card before attaching it. Lastly I attached the sentiment again using Dimensionals.

For the inside of this card I have placed a layer of Blushing Bride behind the layer of Whisper White card stock. I have used The Smoky Slate stamp pad to stamp the sentiment which is from the Happy Tails Stamp Set. Also the Cat from the Pampered Pets Stamp Set and Coloured the inside of the ears using the Light Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blend, the fur is coloured using the Light Smoky Slate Stampin' Blend, a bit streaky to appear like fur.
