Art Neko Design Team

Some time ago I told you that I was asked to be in the

design team of 

Art Neko Rubber Stamps

and as of this month you will see ssome changes going to

happen at the Art neko website and will get to know

the design team. All ofus will post regularly on the design blog

and on our own blogs.

I want to start this month with the Art Neko mascot

stamp: the good luck cat. You find the stamp here.

You can read all about the meaning of this

Maneki-neko here.

I stamped the image with versamark and embossed

iy with gold embossing powder. Then I colored the

image with red brick and vintage photo distress ink.

I cut out the image to add it to the background.

When i had everything taped down to the card

I added a few drops of glossy accent to the pendant of the cat.

Here you see the little charm that I added to the card.

The Dutch colors and a little birdie.

Behind the cat image, upiu see some oriental characters.

When I knew I was going to be in  the Art Neko

design team I found this book with orental characters

(I have no idea if it is Chinese or Japanese) and

this is great to use for cards.

I wish the new design team good luck,

inspiration and lots of creativity.

Thanks for looking.
