Guest Designer at CAS Christmas

 I am absolutely delighted to have been invited to be guest designer at CAS Christmas this month.  The theme this month is Cats and/or Dogs, and it will be no surprise to you to learn that I decided to use cats.


 This cute little kitty in a Christmas hat was part of a magazine freebie stamp set some years ago, with the sentiment in the same set. 


I stamped and fussy cut the kitty, then coloured with Promarkers. To give the hat a bit of bling, I used matching sparkly texture paste on the tip of a very fine paintbrush. Two strips of matching sparkly washi tape provided a floor for the kitty to sit on. 

Now I also had sparkly washi tape and texture paste in a light jade colour, so while I was in the mood, I made exactly the same card in a different colourway: 


So now I have a sparkly twosome and the card box for next Christmas is already starting to fill up nicely. 

I'm looking forward to visiting all your entries over at CAS Christmas and seeing all your festive felines and Christmassy canines! 


I am sharing this with:
