Hello and welcome! Hard to believe it's the last Saturday of the month, and it's also time for a new challenge at Allsorts! This week Dena is hosting and she selected the optional theme of "Embossing". It can be dry embossing or heat embossing, and as always now the theme is optional so you may share any of your new creations (up to 3) for a chance to be entered into the prize drawing. As this challenge ends in November we have new prizes and if you haven't already, be sure to check the October winners list on the challenge blog.
Below are the FABULOUS prizes for the next few challenges, from Stampendous, Oakwood Direct and WOWVOW. Winners will be selected weekly then all announced on the last Friday of November.
I used 2 different stamp sets to create the scene along with the dies and embossing folder. The presents (and sentiment) are from the Penny Black set "Christmas Cycling" but originally there is a dog peeking out from the box on top. To make it cat themed I used this fun cat from the Hero Arts stamp set Meowy Christmas and sat the cat right on top of the last present but making it look like he knocked over one of the gifts as he jumped up there. The single gift is also part of the Penny Black set. If you look closely you can see the dog's paws peeking out from the top LOL, something I tried to hide.
The floor was done with Penny Black's Floor die set and inked in a color to match the cat's fur. Embossing folder is an oldie by Cuttlebug, I think. I added a few sticky rhinestones and Stickles glitter for some sparkle. Glitter has this funny way of either showing up too much or not at all in photograph, today it's much more sparkly than in real life.
Challenges I'd like to share with:
- Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge
- Simon Says Stamp -AG
- The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge - Christmas
- Peace on Earth - Christmas
- Can You Handle The Pressure? - Embossing Folders
- Jingle Belles - Holiday Creatures

{Can You Handle The Pressure}bulous and creative card, I think the reason you can see the dogs paws is he was trying to get that cat LOL!!
Great work with those two stamp sets! I love this sweet scene and your glorious, traditional colour combo just works so well. I'm so happy to see you here again at The Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge where we're remembering our dear friend Janis Woolbright, Jo x
ReplyDeleteThis card screams 'oh what fun' with the darling kitty (you can just see the mischief in her eyes!) sitting atop those gifts - that you KNOW are going to come tumbling down! And all the pretty sparkle. Janis would be proud!

How clever to use the Christmas EF for the wallpaper. It's a fab and fun card.
ReplyDeleteYour card is adorable, Ellie! Well done mixing your stamps to create this scene! Love the sparling you added and the floor is just perfect. I can't see the the dog's paw, the black seems the cat's paws!

Love this scene Ellie - you combined the different gift and cat stamps beautifully, and the floor die set is awesome and beautifully coloured.
ReplyDeletePauline xx
Oh what fun indeed! What a gorgeous card! I LOVE those stacked presents - so sparkly! The kitty is just cute too. It has a bit of a mid-century modern feel to it! Looked really close at my screen to see the doggy paws LOL! Would never have been able to tell! Clever combining your stamps and the boarded flooring looks amazing as well as the background - thats elegant - like wall paper. Thanks for playing along with Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge.
