There once was a cat and a ladder….

Hello. This sounds like the start to a limerick or other funny story, doesn’t it? I just couldn’t think what to call the post so I just wrote what I saw…..

The Alphabet Challenge has started a new challenge. We have reached the letter ‘G’, and Debbie has chosen the theme of ‘G is for Green as the dominant colour’. Here is my card:

I used a previously created green ink smooshed [iece of card, and added an alcohol ink banner at the top. Some different shades of green, with a little gold on the alcohol ink portion.

The cat, ladder, and the leafy sprigs are from Charlie and Paulchen, a German company I have ordered from a couple of times. They have some amazing die sets – very small but perfectly formed – as they say…..

The cat and sprigs were die cut out of white so they stood out from the green background, and the ladder die cut from some brown card, layered a couple of times for dimension.

I added a previously foiled sentiment at the top as it seemed to fit better that way.

Although there are a few layers, I still feel this is quite CAS – compared to recent cards anyway.

I hope you can come and join us with your creations which feature green predominantly. xx

I shall be entering the following challenges:

Avenue 613 Createanything goes – option summertime

Die Cut Divasdie cuts and critters

The Crafty Addictsanything goes

Ally’s Angelsanything goes

    Hey Teamie, nice to visit you for something other than a Christmas card! Cute scene, love the alcohol inking in these greens – so vibrant! Love the foiled sentiment and great idea to put it along the top!

    There once was a cat and a ladder, and climbing made this cat gladder!
    But when she reached the top, she had to stop, ’cause climbing back down was madder!
    Aaah needs some work!
    Hugs, Kate!

    Loving how the white die cuts stand out against your beautiful green background piece. The shine of the foiled sentiment is so pretty too. Thanks for joining us at Die Cut Divas.
