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.

I love your cute cat card and the gold and pink together look so classy!
ReplyDeleteOh, this is SWEET. Love the pink + gold.
ReplyDeleteLove the soft colors of the backgrouond.
ReplyDeleteThe kitty looks retro 60's. Very cute!
ReplyDeleteLove the vellum snowflake
ReplyDeleteLove the pink background with all that lovely snow! That is one cool looking kitty! The pink and gold go together perfectly!
ReplyDeleteLove your color scheme on your cute card!
ReplyDeleteLove your choice of pink and gold for this retro design. The vellum updates it for my money and takes it out of the kitsch category. PERFECT!! (Or is it purrfect?)
ReplyDeleteSuch fun colors! Love that Cat!
ReplyDeleteAdorable cat card!
ReplyDeleteWonderful card. Love those colors. Nikki
ReplyDeleteVery sweet image and adorable card!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the pink for Christmas! What a sweet card with the gold and white accents. Just darling!
ReplyDeleteOh, that gorgeous pink and gold is perfect for this sophisticated cat, Yainea ... there's something of the 50s movie stars about her ... she's fabulous! Anita :)
ReplyDeletePink and gold is a great combo
ReplyDeleteLOVE that kitty! This card is amazing... the gold and pink.... just my style. Perfection!
ReplyDeleteShe is a great kitty and definitely deserves a little sparkle. So what if she is sitting surrounded by shimmer and shine! Thanks for a great card. I love the pink. It's unexpected and it definitely works.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous kitty - love the gold foil - it adds some superb glam, perfect for that pretty kitty.
ReplyDeleteIt 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.
ReplyDeletePairing your kitten with pink and gold makes for one stunning card! So lovely! Thank you for joining in Taheerah's Extravaganza; you've sent my festive spirit soaring...
