It's reminder time over at Christmas Kickstart! Our elf for July is my brilliant crafting bud, Gail from Crafty Nomad, and we're playing:
Challenge #52 - Woolly or Fluffy or Furry!
Here's my card inspired by Gail's card. I was so taken by Gail's use of green for her inspiration piece. My original plan was to copy the kitty and tree, but it just didn't work as a design as the tree dominated the whole card and looked really dull. I started again, added a second kitten and 'bingo', I liked the design. The green bulb from Gail's card appears in my card too!
I really wanted to try my hand at Gail's green background. Gail used green Archival Ink, but I had to opt for Distress Ink instead. In all honesty, it looks nowhere near as good as Gail's base layer, but I quite like how it turned out. I used linen card and the inking really accentuated the linen weave. I just wish I'd managed to find a more festive green ink in my stash.
If you haven't already guessed it the images on this card all come from MFT, but can you work out which stamp sets I've used???
July is a great time to start your Christmas cards, so we very much hope you'll come and play along!
As always, Rudolph has done us proud with his Random Raffle prize for our challenge!
