Welcome
And a very warm welcome to my newest follower Denise Morgans, known as Dennymor on both IG and Facebook.
I recently saw a video tutorial online by Ardyth, here, and was inspired to try it myself, just at the time that the monthly challenge for my small swap group came out, which was to use three patterned papers, a two word sentiment and one image.
This is the result! (and the recipient loved it!)

I started with some very old patterned papers that were freebies from a magazine, that I had never used, but I chose them as the sheets were big enough for the inside of the project.
Then I found a previously unused stamp set by Unity - A Little Not Fine from their Pissy Kitty series...

The technique looks a bit like a bulky gatefold card when taken out of the envelope, and I held it shut with the piece of twine that formed kitty's bow

Here it is opened out, with the other two papers showing, and the two word sentiment.

I don't blame Kitty looking a bit pissy with a glittery bow draped over her face, a sparkly butterfly in her fur, and fancy brown tipping on her fur also - not how a self respecting cat wants to look!
I am linking this to:
(The patterned papers had never been cut into before, and the stamp was also NBUS)
Thank you so much for visiting

Pissy kitty looks like me when the political news comes on over here, Maxine! She is a hoot and I think you're right about the bow and butterfly, cute though it is! And well done on using your pp and all the cuts and folds! These fold cards befuddle me and make me pissy! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Great to see you! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteI love the cat. My ginger persian used to look just like that all the time!. A clever card too. Well done for meeting all the criteria. Kate x
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful card. I love the grumpy cat and the fancy fold. I do wish I could motivate myself to try a few fancy folds, but it never seems to work xx
ReplyDeleteWow, how cute and creative! I love how the tie opens and reveals the sentiment. So clever, Maxine. Thanks for sharing your talents with us at Word Art Wednesday. I praise and thank God for you, my friend (I really do).
ReplyDeleteAwesome Maxine. A very creative way to use your three papers. Love that Pissy Kitty!
