K is for Kitty

 


Beccy's Place runs a month of Holiday Cards challenge throughout November. Most days are a prompt with the letter of the alphabet but as there are only 26 then we get a random prompt too.


The prompt for Day 12 is the letter K - My Card is Kitty

A work colleague is crackers about cats and has 9 so when I saw this image in the Craft Buddy diamond painting Christmas stickers kit I knew it would be perfect for his Christmas card.

The base card is covered with a sentiment paper (which looked more red in my lighting but I okay with it).  The green paper is an offcut from previous projects.

The hardest part of this whole card was finding a paper that looked 'right' to stock the image onto. Nothing with a patterned worked as it detracted from kitty too much. Plain looked too stark so after much deliberation I choose this almost wood effect paper which I then matted onto an iridescent dark brown.

The sentiment was a large one from an old shop bought card which I snipped to separate the words, matted with the green paper and some metallic gold card.

Finally I added some clusters of gems in the background in Christmas colours to decorate the paper.

  1. What a fun card Mandy, I'm sure your colleague will love it! I wonder if the cat actually resembles any of his pets? Would be cute if it does.
    Cheers,

    1. Beccy one of his cats Missy is the same markings and long haired like this one so it will be perfect for him. He is like the crazy cat lady but in male form. He has a cat cam and checks it whilst he is at work to make sure they behave themselves. His girlfriend would have more given half a chance.....
