Glitter n Sparkle DT - Stitching (Real or Faux)

Hello, friends.  It's Sunday, and that means there's a new challenge starting today over at Glitter n Sparkle Challenge Blog.  This week's theme is Stitching - Real or Faux.  Come on over and join us!  Just look at the cute kitty image I got to play with this week - it's called Celebrating Kitty from Eureka Stamps.  I had a good look around over at Eureka Stamps and I was so impressed - they have lots of kitty images - I'll definitely be going back.  I coloured this cute kitty with my Prismacolor pencils - I think he looks like one of my boys LOL. 

I also have the perfect (or should I say purr-fect) sentiment; take a look at the inside of my card:

This sentiment is also from Eureka Stamps and it's called Purrfect Birthday.  I told you they have some great cat stamps - and cat sentiments too.  So on the front of the card, I fussy-cut the kitty and affixed with pop dots. I doodled faux stitching all around the glittery patterned paper and added ribbon and a triple-looped bow. Have I said it enough times that I love my new bow makers?  Lastly I added a little present charm.  On the inside of the card I added a panel of the glittery patterned paper and mounted the sentiment on purple cardstock to match the ribbon on the front.  And I added a kitty die-cut to keep the cat theme going LOL.  Here are the supplies used:
  • Cardstock:  Recollections
  • Patterned paper:  Dollarama (I got some great new glittery paper there)
  • Die:  Poppy Stamps Curious Cat
  • Ribbon:  Offray
  • Bow maker:  Craft-Dee BowZ
  • Marker:  Staedtler (for faux stitching)
  • Sketch:  MFP Speedy TV Sketch with a Twist (see below)

Like the glitter w/ sparkle paper. The charm is a wonderful addition. Like teh finished inside also. You asked if the postcard on my card was a stamp or not. Yes, it is part of the Lawn Fawn You' ve Got Mail stamp set and I fussy cut it out. I also have another postcard stamp as well that is larger.

What a cute card! I love kitties! Just a thought...you could have created your own glittery polka dot paper using the Dreamweaver Large Dots stencil with either embossing paste and glitter or Palette Glue ink and glitter! Thanks for linking to the Dreamweaver challenge!
