cat

Hello once again. The Alphabet Challenge has reached the letter ‘K‘. Deborah is hosting and has chosen the theme of:

K is for Kittens and cats

here is my card:

As I have four cats this was a ‘purrfect’ them for me – I obviously have a lot of cat themed products…..!

I started by die cutting the cat in a warm grey and lighter grey card stock, some pink for the tongue and ears, and a muted green for the collar. I don’t have collars on my cats – we live in a wooded area and one of my first ever cats got caught by a little branch – so no collars for my boys and girls….

I used Time4Tea designs patterned paper with paws, then topped that with some Lawn Fawn paper.

The huge sentiment is also from Time4Tea Designs, cut from some patterned paper, then layered with white card stock for stability and dimension.

I hope you can come and join us with your kitten/cat themed projects – I am looking forward to seeing what you make. xx

I shall be entering the following challenges:

Crafty Animals – anything goes with an animal

2 Crafty Critter Crazies – anything goes with a critter

Lil Patch Of Crafty Friends – anything goes

Ally’s Angels – anything goes

The ABC Christmas Challenge has reached the letters ‘C‘ and ‘D‘, Helene is hosting this time round, and we have the themes of ‘Cats’ and ‘Dogs‘ – Christmas of course. Here is my card:

I used this large cat die set from Spellbinders/Stampendous to create the cat. A few layers to him, but quickly put together. I coloured the ears, nose and mouth before adding them.

I wanted a hat large enough to be able to fit his head, so searched the CML app to find one in my stash. I Saw this – also from Spellbinders – so I die cut the two layers from glitter foam.

I then chose the colour background which would enable to cat to stand proud and used an embossing folder. The sentiment is from a previous foiling session
