Questa è la mia quinta card (e credo sarà anche l'ultima) per il Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge in memoria di Janis Woolbright. In fondo al post troverete un'altra creazione e anche un regalo per voi. 😊
I gattini sono presi da "Cats Paper Collage washi tape" di Paper Artistry (non sono washi tape, sono strisce di carta da incollare). Non sono bellissimi?
L'idea mi è venuta perchè i gattini hanno un foglio in mano... ho pensato che potesse essere la letterina per Babbo Natale 😄 così ho scritto il sentiment al computer e l'ho tagliato in pezzi, l'ho colorato con i Distress Inks e incollato su delle striscette dorate di cartoncino, riciclate da una scatola di cioccolatini di una nota marca (se osservate attentamente vedrete il marchio qui sotto)
La carta patterned vintage faceva parte di un premio vinto ad un challenge, ignoro il brand. Le fronde dorate (fustella Creative Expressions) e la slitta di Babbo Natale (Wiler) provengono dal mio raccoglitore di recupero scraps a tema Natale. Ho abbondato con le gemme per dare luce e un aspetto festivo alla card. 😅 Ho incollato il pannello su un pezzo di foam rosso glitterato e l'ho tagliato con una fustella scallop Creative Expressions. Poi ho incollato il tutto su un cartoncino color kraft riciclato dalla scatola di una pizza surgelata e infine su un cartoncino color bianco avorio piegato a metà. La renna in basso è quella che non ci stava in alto... 😂 LOL l'ho semplicemente girata sull'altro lato.
>> Ed ora, se siete arrivati fino a qui, ecco un piccolo regalo in memoria di Janis... Spero che qualche crafter amante dei gatti lo gradisca. 😉 <<
Mia nipote Aurora mi ha gentilmente disegnato l'immagine sottostante, che ho trasformato in digitale. Aurora mi ha dato il permesso di metterla (gratuitamente) a disposizione delle crafters amanti dei gatti. 😊 Grazie Aury!! 💖
Per ricevere l'immagine (senza il watermark), scrivete alla mia casella di posta, che trovate QUI. Nell'oggetto della mail scrivete "Aurora’s digi stamp".
Se usate l'immagine, per favore non coprite la firma di Aurora che è inglobata nel disegno e date i crediti mettendo il link a questo blog. Grazie...Il sentiment in inglese l'ho inserito io al pc (spero che non ci siano errori!! nel caso, ditemelo e provvedo a modificare).
Questo qui sotto invece, scritto a mano in italiano, è l'originale di Aurora.
Io ho usato l'immagine con la scritta originale di Aurora per fare questa cover per un block-notes. Ho usato i Distress Inks blu e l'arancione, una delle mie palettes preferite e e gocce d'acqua per aggiungere un po' di texture.
Il bordino nero finto cucito che riprende la forma della fustella con cui ho tagliato il pannello è disegnato a mano con un pennarello sottile. La base nera con le lune è un pezzo di carta da regalo che avevo nel mio stash, incollata su un cartoncino di recupero.

They both are so beautifully made, such cuties on the first card and the image drawn by your niece is gorgeous!
RispondiEliminaThank you so much for sharing with us at Allsorts challenge!

Booth cards are such fun! The first one with all those hungry kitties lined up begging Santa for tasty food is just heart warming and precious! There are so many fun details added also which just made me smile. Aurora's drawing is so sweet and darling too and it's wonderful that she's sharing it with your readers! There is plenty of cat love in this post to honor Janis, so I'm sure she's smiling down on everyone who participated in the challenge in her honor! Have a great week ahead and keep smiling - life is great! Hugs!
RispondiEliminaThese are both so great. I especially love the sentiment on the card. The colors on your 2nd creation are out of this world lovely. These really are excellent. [Bunny]
RispondiEliminaWhat a wonderful cat card, loving the pearls and other lovely details on this kitty card. Aurora has certainly made an incredible drawing, I also love how she included her name in the drawing too. What you have done with her drawing is just beautiful, I love the colours Alice.

Che divertente fila di gatti e un altro adorabile biglietto colorato, grazie mille per esserti unito di nuovo a noi su Allsorts, è sempre adorabile che tu ti unisca a noi.
RispondiEliminaScusa se arrivo in ritardo, siamo tutti devastati per aver perso un altro animale domestico, prima Cally il gatto all'inizio di ottobre, poi Lily, ora Ben e c'è così tanto da risolvere per tutti i requisiti legali quando un cavallo muore.
