Now on to my first card for today - Curious Kitty


DIE:  Cat & Bird DIE802-Z
STAMP:  Fancy Leaves CAC224

I cut the Cat & Bird die from black card stock, and attached it to a background I had created by stamp the Fancy Leaves stamp onto watercolor paper with distress inks, then blending more distress over the stamping with my brush applicators, blending the colors to create a soft background.

I added this panel to some pp, which I had stamped the Fancy Leaves on, then distressed this as I did above.  I added the paper to an A2 card front, then attached the die piece with foam tape for dimension.  Three little black pearls give the front a bit of accent.

Inside of card:



On to Card 2:  Hello Funky Flowers


DIES:  Funky Floral Frame DIE801-YY
                 Hello DIE809-G
                 Checkered Frames DIE805-YY
STAMP:  Fresh Flowers C19104  (inside)

I cut the Funky Floral Frame die with white card stock, and added it to a piece of patterned paper, then mounted it to an A2 card front.  I used a piece of black card stock from my stash from which I had cut an oval die, as a frame around the panel.  I used foam tape, and also added an acetate window before mounting.  I did not put any 'shaker' items in it, as I felt it was busy enough.

I cut the Hello die from the same pp as above, and also from black card stock.  I offset them a tad and glued them together, then onto a piece of vellum, and attache it over the acetate window and frame I had created.

I cut Checkered Frames from white and black card stock, and added white to the front, and the black one inside, over the pp. I stamped the Fresh Flowers stamp inside.  I thought it looked similar to the Funky Floral Frame die, in the same funky style.  




And for the inside:
