Christmas Kitty

 A very quick post to share the second card I made for the Cat Lovers Hop - getting in just before it closes for the year! 


This is made using a very old Dutch decoupage booklet - it must be over 20 years since I bought it and I've still only done about half a dozen of the 24 designs. I get easily bored with all that fiddly cutting out and the lack of creativity - but on the other hand it's a handy thing to be able to do on my lap while all my craft supplies are packed away for the family visit. 


I am sharing this with

I too love the 3D effect. The fussy cutting was worth it. Great card!

It's a sweet Christmas card. Love the papers and I've always enjoyed a decoupaged card although I've never made one. [Bunny]

I do agree that all the fussy cutting with decoupage can be tiring, but what a wonderful image to have popped onto this pretty little card!

Well, this is just lovely, and at first I thought that was actually red velvet ribbon on the card at the bottom.

Wow...the 3D effect is amazing. I agree about all the cutting...(I hate fussy cutting even simple images..lol)...but this really turned out beautiful. Nice coordinating papers, too. So bright and festive!
