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.

Oh, this is SWEET. Love the pink + gold.
Love the soft colors of the backgrouond.
The kitty looks retro 60's. Very cute!
Love the vellum snowflake
Love the pink background with all that lovely snow! That is one cool looking kitty! The pink and gold go together perfectly!
Love your color scheme on your cute card!
Love 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?)
Such fun colors! Love that Cat!
Adorable cat card!
Wonderful card. Love those colors. Nikki
Very sweet image and adorable card!!!
Love the pink for Christmas! What a sweet card with the gold and white accents. Just darling!
Oh, 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 :)
Pink and gold is a great combo
LOVE that kitty! This card is amazing... the gold and pink.... just my style. Perfection!
She 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.
Gorgeous kitty - love the gold foil - it adds some superb glam, perfect for that pretty kitty.
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.
Pairing 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...
