All Squared

At Less is More it is week 17, a recipe. The challenge is to choose one square from the grid and keep your image to just that space and leave the rest of the card EMPTY!!!  If you are using text or a sentiment it can extend a little outside of the square if necessary.  First I chose to use this pretty Clarity Stamps cat which I have had for ages  and don't get to use very often. I decided the top left hand corner was the best posistion for it, but thought it would look a bit as if was floating in mid air, so I masked off the corner of the card and coloured it with Spun Sugar Distress ink using cut and dry with a blending tool, and added a touch of Vitorian Velvet to define the edges. I worked out more or less where I wanted the crown and stamped it with Versamark and embossed with gold embossing powder. I then stamped the cat with Versafine Black Onyx and added just a little colour to the eyes and nose with colour soft pencils.I used a tiny bit of Diamond Stickles to embellish the crown but decided it didn't show enough and added some extra glitter.I then  stamped the text "Queen for a day" just falling out of my square. Both the crown and the words are Chocolate Baroque stamps.
