Gatto gondoliere e carta embossata

Ho fatto questa card ispirata da alcuni challenges.

Ho giocato ad embossare a secco alcuni scraps di carta avanzata, come richiesto da Let's squash it! Per la forma del barattolo ho usato il leftover di una fustella Sizzix (in realtà sono 2 leftovers: uno bianco e uno di carta patterned arancione a strisce verticali, li ho sovrapposti per dare dimensione). Poi ho embossato il leftover(s) con la EF 3D Texture Fades "Bricks" by Tim Holtz. Lo sfondo blu e verde è uno dei miei pannelli di recupero delle sottili striscette di carte patterned e tinta unita (vedi questo post), l'ho embossato con la EF Ocean Waves by Crafter's Companion e ci ho passato sopra il blender con un Distress Ink blu per evidenziare l'embossing. L'uso delle strisce è ispirato anche dal challenge di Crafter's Cafè.

Il gattino in gondola e il ponte sono by Newton's Nook, non li avevo mai utilizzati prima, anche se ho questo set da anni!! 😥 Ho optato per il gatto ispirata dal challenge di Country View che ha per tema "cani e/o gatti". Li ho colorati con un mix di alcohol markers (Promarkers, Graph'it markers) e ritagliati. I sentiments fanno parte dello stesso set, ad eccezione di "Our story is my favourite" che è by Jane's Doodles. Non so se sono davvero i sentiments adatti a questa card, ma non ne avevo di migliori. Il mio stash di timbri non è così fornito... Comunque il risultato finale mi piace molto. 😊


Mi piace il contrasto di blu/verde e arancio, lo trovo molto estivo e "energetico"! 😅

Aww so sweet. I think the sentiments are purr-fect… as it tells a story. Fantastic embossing of scraps, especially that brick wall. The jar aperture is a fun idea.

This card made me smile! Such a cute Newton kitty and so fun to see cats wearing clothing and doing people activities! Makes me happy to see such fun images and they remind me of my childhood story books. I absolutely love your water background - the colours and the embossing work perfectly for the river, so impressive and even more so since it's made from your scraps! I will have to "borrow" this idea from you! The brick panel with the jar cut-out is such a fun idea and I like the added words and bridge. This is such a fun card, my friend! I always love your creativity! P.S. I forgot to mention that I received your email - thank you so much for the update. I especially like the photo you attached. We are envious of your set-up. I will reply soon, but it has been hectic here now that we have more freedom to go places with no restrictions and no masks. We have been taking advantage of our freedom since we don't know when it will be taken away again. Sending you love, hugs, and peaceful wishes. I think of you often and pray for you.
