I used a piece of freebie paper for the window scene and cut a window frame out of off-white card stock. I stamped the cat outline, coloured it with Promarker and snipped it out. The tiny heart shape is from SU's Owl Punch. The oval chipboard shape I first covered with red glitter, before making the sentiment banner, using another freebie, this time from a Forever Friends set. The beautiful 'wallpaper' is actually from SU's DP set Hollt Berry Bouquet.
At 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown you will find some fantastic other cards from the DT, and hopefully they will inspire you to have a go too. A sketch is just a starting point after all, I wonder what fabulous ideas will come out from this one!
Hi Louise - hope you had a great holiday, love your card, looks just like my Louis! - Jacqueline xx
ReplyDeleteI think it's brilliant, Louise!!! It actually inspired a card that I made for Halloween that I will be posting soon...and I am NOT a cat fan, but I had to CASE this one! :) HUGS and hope you had a fabulous trip away! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this card Louise and it's a familiar scene in our house, except Tuppence is tabby and white. I love the way you placed the little heart from the sketch on your cat's collar. We're just back from our holidays too and gearing up for school! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteI think this is really wonderful Louise! Thanks to my allergies I am a cat lover from afar :o) Great take on the sketch - I love that window.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable window scene Louise, very warm and cosy feel to your card even with the frosty scene outside the window! I love the heart on the kitty!
ReplyDeleteMy cat Tingha loves a snooze on a warm, sunny windowsill!
