Jane chose Twofers theme for this challenge and it just so happens to be Zoe's 60th birthday. I know how much Zoe loves cats and I just got the Cat Crazy Stamps and Framelits (because I'm a tad cat crazy, too) and I had a GREAT time coloring these guys in. Here is my card:
How I made my Card:
White Card Base
Tim Holtz Cat Crazy Stamps, #CMS251
Sizzix/Tim Holtz Cat Crazy Framelits, #661209
Tim Holtz Crazy Things Stamps, #CMS237
Tim Holtz Crazy Things Framelits, #660953
Tim Holtz Crazy Talk, CMS236
Sizzix/Tim Holtz Labels #660060
Derwent Colored Pencils
Blender Pen
Watercolor Paper
Pop Dots
I colored in both cats and the balloons with my Derewent Pencils, then cut them out using the matching die cuts. I wasn't positive of how I was going to attach the dies but I ended up just gluing the cats and balloons to the card base.
I also put a sentiment on the inside of the card, I searched forever to find a free font that matched the font used on Crazy Talk and I think I hit the jackpot with Arsenale White and I got it free from DaFont - just click the link to get it for yourself!
I don't typically decorate the inside of my cards, but I really I felt that everyone needed to know what happened to that loud mouthed bird. So I printed out the internal sentiment and cut it our using the Labels set from Tim Holtz. Pop dotted that to the inside of the card and after I glued a few pieces of feathers onto the hungry cat, I was done.
Now it's your turn to get a birthday card together and enter it in the Twofers Challenge. You could win a $15 Gift Certificate to Alleystamp!!
Have a great day!! Christi
