Suzi Blu part 2: A little Pooey Love

Time for a little more Suzi Blu (from Unity Stamp Co)....this time I used the Pooey love kitty cat, coloured with my grey Copics and created a fun gift tag using this month's Unity KOTM Sketch (the diamond background and the sentiment are both from the April KOTM).  When I was done creating the tag I decided to turn it into a card by mounting it on a long and narrow card base.

You may notice LOTS of embossing on this project.  I drew some inspiration from last week's Lily Pad Card's embossing challenge and went to town.  I wet embossed the background diamonds by stamping with purple distress ink and then embossing with clear powder (it's a bit difficult to see on the shimmer cardstock background but it gives a nice shimmer to the tag).  Then I also heat embossed the sentiment in black powder on the tag.  For the card base I used a diamond patterned embossing folder and distressed with the purple distress ink to make it stand out.

Thanks for stopping by!!
