Al Christmas Kick Start Challenge è iniziato il Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge/Hop in ricordo di Janis Woolbright. Sono molto felice di questo tributo a Janis, sicuramente meritatissimo! So che Janis manca a molte di noi crafters... soprattutto a quelle amanti dei gatti che partecipavano regolarmente ai suoi strepitosi Blog Hop. Quando Janis ha lasciato questa terra avevo scritto un post QUI. Non mi ripeto, è quello che penso tuttora.
Questa è la mia prima card per The Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge, spero di trovare abbastanza tempo per farne altre (sono accettate fino a 6 cards).
Ho usato soltanto alcuni scraps e qualche elemento di riciclo:
Per montare la scena ho usato come base un cartoncino di una confezione della pasta; le sottili strisce di carta effetto legno sono tagliate da una rivista; la striscetta nera con le impronte è tagliata con un punch e sovrapposta a quella rossa; il pacco regalo è tagliato da una cartolina commerciale; la carta patterned color turchese è il leftover di un cerchio scallop. Il sentiment "Buon Natale" l'ho generato al computer. Il gattino è un timbro digitale LOTV, timbrato su un avanzo di carta bianca, ritagliato nella parte inferiore e colorato con un mix di alcohol markers. Sul musetto del gattino noterete una piccola macchia... l'ho fatta con un pennarello sottile quando la card era ormai finita (sigh 😔), perché volevo accentuare la curva della bocca, ma purtroppo non sono riuscita a toglierla. A volte essere pignoli è controproducente... LOL.
Il cappello da Babbo Natale è tagliato con una piccola fustella brand Simply Creative da avanzi di cartoncino e di foam glitterato.
Incollato tutto su un cartoncino rosso piegato a metà.

RispondiEliminaThanks for joining the Ai Challenge! -Tasha
Buongiorno Alice,
RispondiEliminaUn gatto davvero carino sul comignolo, crea una perfetta creazione natalizia con il piccolo accenno di brillantezza sul suo cappello.
Buon mercoledi.

Ciao Alice
RispondiEliminaQuesta è una cartolina di Natale davvero adorabile in omaggio a Janis. Adoro il dolce gatto e tutti i ritagli che hai usato per realizzarlo. Mi piace il suo visino e non credo che tu l'abbia rovinato con il tuo pennarello.
Grazie per essere venuto a giocare nello SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND. Ci vediamo nella casa sull'albero per una bella tazza di caffè e una chiacchierata più tardi xxx
Alice a cute and beautiful christmas card

Ciao Alice! Thank you so much for joining us at The Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge where we remember our dear friend Janis! Your card is gorgeous and I love the cheeky expression on kitty's face! Jo x
RispondiEliminaYay, Alice! I am so very happy to see your card in our Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge! I absolutely love the way you save scraps, magazine bits, leftovers from previous projects, and food packaging and then pull it all together to make such an adorable card! I save these things too but then don't remember to use them, so this is very impressive! The kitty is adorable, and maybe you should not have mentioned the stain on her face because I thought it was intentional! It makes her smile stand out, it's purr-fect! I love your card, my sweet friend! And thank you for your kind words about our Honeydew. Yes, Brian and I cried many tears, and we still think of him every day. I am going to make a blog post with some photos in a few days so stay tuned. Sending love and hugs and peaceful wishes!
RispondiEliminaThis is just precious with that little kitty and such a wonderful tribute to Janis as well. I love how you created your own stripes and especially that fun Santa hat, The pawprints at the bottom just make this a delightful card for Christmas. Wishing you the best possible day along with many hugs from afar.
RispondiEliminaSo very cute and I love the sparkly little Santa hat. Precious card.

You have outdone yourself with this one. What amazing use of scraps and what a gorgeous finished Christmas card. A truly lovely tribute to Janis. I am sure she would have really appreciated it xx
RispondiEliminaWhat a delightful card Alice - so sweet. Very much like our Janis was. Unassuming and a delight to know - I too miss her so much.

What a wonderful card Alice, I love the adorable image and your design. Fabulous colouring too, Kate x
RispondiEliminaHi Alice! Wanted to stop by and visit you since you left such a nice comment on my blog. Sometimes when I'm making a card I have to tell myself it looks fine and to step away before I mess it up. The first thing I noticed about your card is the cute look on the cat's face, so I don't think your little dot mattered at all. It's a really cute card! Hugs, Debi
RispondiEliminaA beautiful card, such a pretty colourful one too xx
RispondiEliminaThanks for joining in the Cat Lovers Hop at Christmas Kickstart. I am inspired by your use of snippets for this card. I had a moment to go back and read your tribute to Janis and wanted to thank you for sharing it again here. I hope you hop some more with us this month. Helpful Hopper, Suzanne
RispondiEliminaSuper creative use of all the scraps - they worked so purr-fectly to make the most adorable card. Love the glitter on her hat & pom pom and the pretty shine of the paper used for the gift. I hope to see you play some more with us; we're glad to have you!
RispondiEliminaSweet card!!! Thanks so much for participating in our LIL PATCH OF CRAFTY FRIENDS challenge!!! I appreciate that you play along and I enjoy visiting your blog!! Have a happy crafty day!! Deanne at A Little Bit O’ Paper
RispondiEliminaI love using leftovers and I love how you turned your leftovers into a really great and very cute card.
RispondiEliminaHeeeello Alice! Its so very nice to see you in blogland again and to see your gorgeous card work. Totally thought the little mark on kitties face was a part of its cute and very joyous expression. Your shading is gorgeous! Bits of scraps gathered here and there make remarkable additives to craft work, its being creative and resourceful. Its a beautifully happy card!
RispondiEliminaOH! What a fun and wonderful card, this gave me a chuckle. Love it.
