Don’t you just love this inspiration board?  Jenn did an amazing job picking some PURRFECT spooky images and I was naturally drawn to the cat silhouette! I blended my orange background using Distress inks and then used a partial die-cutting technique to create the aperture with the cat sitting just like in the photo above!  I added some little stars from Retro Ornaments and the Boo sentiment from Bag It and Tag It from Taylored Expressions before adding a light layer of shimmer.  It’s so sparkly in real life!

Hi there.  It’s Anything Goes week this week so I’ve gone with yet another Christmas card (not making much else at the moment!!).  I love the little ice skates from the Flakes N Skates die collection from Spellbinders.  I love how the dies don’t just cut but emboss too.  I kept the die cut in place after I cut it and used a sponge dauber to add the Fog ink too so it’s a stencil on top of everything – how cool!!  I recently picked up this new Penny Black die – Winter Garland and think I’m going to get quite a bit of use out of it – I love it!  For my sentiment I dug out the Avery Elle Season’d Greetings die – it’s such a great size!

I’ve kept is nice and simple with my card this week.  I simply stamped and embossed the sentiment panel from Most Wonderful onto a panel of Bristol watercolour cardstock and then used my Kuretake paints to add a wash of aqua over it.  I die cut the panel using Avery Elle’s Pierced Rectangles and then used the Gift Card dies from MFT to mount a card inside.  A very quick and simple gift whipped up in no time!
