Humbug Cat for Letter "H"

      I tried something completely new to me in making my next "30 Days of Holidays" card at Beccy's Place, a Handbag card.  I followed the tutorial Beccy has posted on her blog, made a couple of size adjustments because of the image I wanted to use, and I know I'll do this card type gain.  With more practice, I'll get better and the results will look better.

     The image is clip art and it was colored by my sis-in-law.  She used water color pencils and I think the fur is incredible!  Don't you just love those Harvest Gold eyes?  I cut and folded the CS into the handbag shape, cut the image piece into that shape, then printed and die cut (Avery Elle) the "Humbug" sentiment.   I dug into my stash for the Hunter green, glitter CS.  The handle was made using holographic ribbon (it changes color from red and gold to green and gold.)

     Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie
