Sometimes simplicity is so effective. I love the ease of this card's layout, but look close and check out the details. First, I inked up the Spider Web embossing folder with Basic Gray ink before I ran it through the Big Shot. I think that touch adds a fun dimension. I also just barely sponged the edges of the focal point to bring out the aged appearance.Now I also have to share a secret. I rarely clean my stamps. I was planning to just stamp the cat. So, I inked it up with a marker, huffed, and then stamped. To my surprise I also got the words, but lighter. I thought it was cool so I kept it.
