Eclipsed kitty

I have had this 'eclipse' design in my head since way before Christmas, finally here it is.  I hope you like it as much as I do.  I used the scalloped die from the Seasonal Layers die set to create the pretty edge.  I think it adds a wow factor.

First I die cut the scalloped edge on the card front, saving the off-cut to use inside the card.  Then I stamped the flower border in Basic Gray before punching out the cat.  I then backed the partially cut card front with a piece of basic gray to bring the card front back to it's original size.

I adhered the pink cat on top of 4 layers of cats which I punched out in basic gray, all adhered on top of each other to give the cat dimension and an 'eclipsed' look when glued back in the punched out apeture, hence the continuous stamped border. Thank you for visiting x

A punched out cat added to the inside on top of scalloped edge finished off the card nicely.

Celebrate with Birthday Blossoms

Oops, I have neglected my blog this month.  Honestly, where does the time go?

So today's card was inspired by the one on page 37 of the spring-summer catalogue.  I used Birthday Blossoms stamp set in Perfect Plum, Wild Wasabi and Delightful Digon. The flower and leaves were finished off with clear Wink of Stella and a Metal Rimmed Pearl.

The Striped Scallop die is sadly now retired - to make way for lots of lovey new goodies  in the 2016-2017 catalogue launching on 1st June. Yay!

Lots of supplies listed below because I also made a gift card/money envelope using the Gift Card Envelope die in Delightful Dijon from the 2015-2017 DSP stack, and sentiments from B.Y.O.P. stamp set. Thank you for stopping by x
