Christmas Cat for Rudolph Day

It's day 5 of the Cat Lovers Hop and it's also Rudolph Day (I hate to rub it in but that means it's only two months to Christmas) so I decided that today's cat card just HAD to be a Christmas one.

I seem to have two recurring designs for cat Christmas cards and I wanted to get out of that rut, and remembered that tucked away somewhere I had a booklet of  Christmassy cat decoupage  papers and designs. Everything is pre-designed, so it's definitely craft rather than art - but that's perfect for a busy day when the imagination seems to have gone AWOL.


I chose this design partly because it reminds me of my beautiful late cat, Charlie, and partly because the decoupage is very easy and it's a very long time since I did any really detailed decoupage. I might do one of the more complex ones before I put the booklet away again, just to remind myself how satisfying it can be.

I'm making another trip to Her Peaceful Garden to play in the Cat Lovers Hop again

  8. This is lovely and Christmassy. I do like a bit of decoupage too. Sumer house is up though the garden now looks a bit of a quagmire as the rains came down just as the chap finished it off. Wind is howling round the house and
    I in my fluffy pj’s and socks. The blanket will be going onto melt down shortly on the bed. Supposed to pee down with rain tomorrow too. Hugs Mrs A.

  15. Adorable cat themed Christmas card. My daughter had a cat that looked just like this one. She passed away this year, so I think I shall take a peek through my decoupage and see what I have too!

    Great card...I love the wee bows on the ribbon!

    Thanks for taking part in the October Rudolph Days
    Challenge.
