It’s challenge Tuesday again, and I can’t quite believe that we have now reached our tenth challenge. We have such a great following of people now it’s just amazing just how many of you very talented people love to take part in our challenges. This theme has been set by Zoe, who besides being the most talented artist is a great cat lover, so I wasn’t surprised when she came up with the idea.
I did have to rack my brains somewhat as I’m more a doggy person, with the corresponding stamps to match, but then I remembered I had got a freebie stamp from Craft Stamper a while back, Le Chat Noir, so I had a look what else I could use and couldn’t resisit using the wonderful Hero Art Stamps, Wish You Were Here, and they were in proportion to the cat so wouldn’t look silly. So Here’s how I made it.
I stuck 2 A5 card blanks together to make a trifold card and covered the middle section with some green K&Compnay paper from my stash, then took a piece of Basic Grey paper that looked so much like a wooden floor and stuck it on the bottom of the card. I then distressed the edges with Tim Holtz DI. Next the chandalier was stamped in Versafine and the chair was stamped twice in Memento, once on white card and once onto a piece of Hello Lucious from Basic Grey. The frame of the chair was coloured with Promarkers, and the seating cut out from the paper and stuck on. The cat was stamped in black and embossed with a holographic embossing powder, and two tiny jewels were used for the eyes. The mat is a circle cut from a Nesties die and cut in half. Two seperate slits were cut at the back of the card to give the 3d element, and the chair and cat glued onto these. I made the skirting board from a small width of copier paper and embossed to lines to give a detail effect. I stuck these on once the two 3d slits had been cut. Finally I stamped the table and lamp against the wall, went over appropriate areas with a Sakura glitter pen and the very appropriate sentiment was placed in the corner. I really did enjoy making this fun card.
