I suoi colori preferiti sono il rosso e il nero, perchè è una tifosa del Milan :D (per le amiche non italiane: Il Milan è una squadra di football).
Questo lavoro non è stato facile: il rosso e il nero non sono colori che uso spesso...
Per la struttura del notes ho usato un cartone di riciclo e l'ho ricoperto con due tipi di cartoncino: patterned (con disegno geometrico) e rosso.
I gatti (con le impronte e i cuoricini) sono timbri di Jane's Doodle, stampati direttamente sulla copertina. Ho desiderato questi simpatici timbri per molto tempo e questa è la prima volta che li uso, ma sono sicuramente tra i miei timbri preferiti!
Ho colorato qualche dettaglio dei gatti in rosso e in nero e ho messo del glossy accents sui piccoli cuori.
L'etichetta centrale è tagliata con una fustella stitched Crealies su cartoncino bianco; poi ci ho stampato un gatto (non è adorabile?) e il sentiment. Ho colorato il gatto con i markers. Ho ritagliato un gatto identico a questo e l'ho usato come maschera per colorare il cartoncino con il DI Faded Jeans.
La maschera color jeans con il gatto l'ho incollata in basso (non spreco mai nulla... LOL). Con lo stesso DI ho sfumato le due timbrate a forma di foglia arricciata (non ricordo il brand).
Ho usato avanzi di cartoncino per tagliare i fiori (Striped Nasturtium di Creative Expression-Sue Wilson) che ho assemblato aggiungendo mezza perla. Ho usato altri avanzi per tagliare il cuore rosso embossato (fustella Sizzix), la chiave di violino (fustella Memory Box), le note (punch) e il pezzetto di bordo scallop (punch) che si vede sotto l'etichetta color jeans. I negativi neri del bordo scallop (in origine il bordo era molto lungo) li ho messi sui bordi del block notes. La farfalla di legno è un bottone che faceva parte dell'hessian bag ricevuta in premio per uno dei Butterfly Challenges di Mrs. A
Ho rinforzato la costa del block notes con un washi tape che ha un disegno di tastiera di pianoforte.
Ho lasciato l'interno del notes molto semplice, aggiungendo soltanto del washi tape sui bordi della copertina e sulla parte alta del blocco di carta.
Il blocco di carta è semplicemente infilato in una fascetta di cartoncino. Quando il blocco di carta sarà finito, si potrà estrarre sfilandolo dalla fascetta e sostituire con un blocco di carta nuovo.
Ho aggiunto una matita nera con motivi in argento, infilata in un avanzo del bordo scallop che ho arrotolato e incollato.

Hello Alice,this will be a wonderful gift for the young lady. I'm sure she will love it. I love the colours and the the super stamps you have used. The flowers look very pretty too.
I am a big football fan and often watch Italian football matches. I have a soft spot for Buffon! Barbxx
Such dramatic colors for this very romantic looking project. Love the unexpected touch of the blue too! How cute to combine the kitties with the laces, music notes and the embossed & dimensional flowers. Like the pattern in the lace border trim too. Your youngster is going to love you for this one! So pretty. Glad you found a bit of crafty time. TFS & Happy Sunday.

Very cute
A lovely gift! Thanks for sharing with us at Stamping Sensations
I love using red, but I very seldom make valentines projects. To combine red with black and white, easy or not, is quite common, but to add details in blue is a brilliant move, rare but look how fantastic it looks! Love the washi tape detailing too. The whole piece is beautifully embellished.
Alice, we both have cat cards today! Yours is a dream! The black and red are so striking! They make a beautiful combination together, much like music :) I love all your details and the darling inside as well - bravo! Hugs!
Hello, Alice! Your notebook is absolutely gorgeous! It is a delight to look at all the kitties! Yay! I love the music theme too and was so impressed with your piano washi tape - it's perfect for this project! I like black and red together; I don't use this colour combo much but it looks great! I like all the die-cuts too - you've put everything together so beautifully! This notebook is gorgeous on the inside too! I think this lady must have loved this notebook! Very impressive, my friend!
Hi Alice what a specially wonderful note book too nice to use, almost, I love all the love and heart your pour into your creations, brilliant work.

A purr-fect card - love the red and black flowers and pretty pops of blue!
oh, this is super cute, great colour combination!
How sweet! Thank you for joining us at Sweet Stampin' this week. Sammy-x
Alice, my flower is a spellbinder rolled rose die, rather big, I sprayed with water after it was rolled, let it dry into shape, used hairspray to 'set' it then added a bit of glitter.xx Has your goodie arrived yet, everyone else has theirs..x{aNNie}
A fabulous creation for our animal Challenge! what a great design! Thanks for joining us this month and good luck!
Beautiful, a perfect gift. I love all the little cats and the piano key borders

Bella idea regalo. Mi piace il contrasto col color jeans.
Baci.
Oh my gosh Alice, I just adore this card!! What a fabulous little kitty cat image and the sentiment is such a great match up! The red and black palette is very striking and I love all the additional cats on the background panel. The lace border and scalloped edge are wonderful accent pieces and the music notes are a fantastic touch! Love those flowers too, just love it all!!
Hope all is well with weather, health and family. We've finally had some snow yesterday so I spent the day outside taking pictures. Good think I did, because it's mostly all gone this morning. Have a great week my friend :)
Fabulous card, cute little cat image.
