Good Morning! It's the first day of August, and that means a new release at Doodle Pantry. Laurie has added 8 new digital sets to the Doodle Pantry store, and my card showcases one of the new sets, Kitten Trio.
I really had fun playing with this set. To give the standing kitten image the look of a silhouette, I digitally paper pieced the kitten with one of the papers from Country Flavors Digi Paper Pack. I also merged a bow from Hats and Things in front of the kitten. For dimension, I cut out a second bow and paper pieced it on top of the kitten with dimensionals. I used some neglected dies from my stash to cut out the image and sentiment as well as embellish my card. Dies used: A Taylored Expressions border die, Spellbinders Labels 13 dies, and a Sizzix flourish die. Other embellishments include a doily, a glittered chipboard flower I found in my stash, and a new SU! boutique detail.
I will be entering this card in the following fun challenges:
Crafty Boots Challenges -- Animals
Creative Creations Challenges #15 -- Anything Goes
Make My Monday -- Paper Piecing (I paper pieced 2 different ways by hand and digitally.)
Paper Playtime Challenge #15 -- Pattern Paper
Tammy Scrappin Corner Challenge #73 -- Use a Digi (I used a digital image, sentiment and digital paper.)
Pile It On #30 -- Anything Goes
Die Cuttin' Diva's Challenge #126 -- Anything Goes

What a perfect idea to paper piece this cat. Plus, I love your color combinations and side embellishment. A perfect card!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute card. I was awed by your 'digitally paper piecing' of the images. I've not even done much 'real' paper piecing. Digital sounds verrry interrresting! You combined so many different ways to create this adorable card. TFS & also for your good wishes on my eye stuff. Much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteOMG Pat, this card is FABULOUS! I love that you used a silhouette of the kitten like that. Your entire layout is gorgeous. Love all the different elements!
