Well, here it is the last weekend of October and that means it's time for the 2021 Cat Lovers Hop which starts today and will run through Saturday, October 30. I've been playing in the hop each year for at least 5 years but I honestly don't remember if I started in 2015 or 2016 but it's become an annual ritual in my creativity routine. :-D This year I was invited by Janis to be one of the Guest Designers and I did GDT cards for Tuesday and Thursday so be sure to check those out when they post here on my blog.
For today, I did a card using an image from Hetty Clare which I think is absolutely adorable. I colored with my ProMarkers and cut the image with a die from QuicKutz. It's 'framed' by cutting an aperture window in the card front (card base was made from flocked CS by Doodlebug) with a larger QuicKutz die from that same set, then attaching a square of charcoal-gray CS inside the front, and layering the image piece into the center of the gray.
The sentiment was printed and cut with an Avery Elle die. I tied a quick bowtie made from lace and wrapped around the middle with satin ribbon. The butterfly is machine embroidered. I did a dozen or more of those last summer and tossed them into my stash, forgetting they were there until just yesterday.
