Today is day 11 of the advent calendar and it's sponsored by Avery Elle, one of my favorite companies and it happens that I have "some" of their amazing products ;) so I searched through my AE stamps and decided to make a card with this cute Christmas kitty. I made a Halloween card using her so I thought I owed her a Christmas one :)

I went with pink + gold with a pinch of red for this festive card and I need to say that I had a lot of fun creating it!



I started with a pink card base and adhered a golden triangle, then I used a handmade mask to add some texture with embossing paste.

I colored the kitty with Zig markers and finished the card with some elements using vellum and embellishments. As if all that gold was not shinny enough I added some more sparkling on the bow and Santa's hat with my Wink of Stella pen.

  16. It is a very gorgeous card and I really like the cat..... but I'll admit that if I had the stamp set I'd use the "define naughty" sentiment with the cat simply because she looks so very "innocent?" and it is such a cute pairing of stamps.

    ReplyDelete
