Oktoberfest

     OK, OK, I know it's not October yet but this adorable "Taurus" image from Some Odd Girl, our sponsor this month at Crafting with an Attitude, just seemed to lend herself to an Oktoberfest theme.  :-D

Colored with ProMarkers
Cut with Unbranded die
Sentiment printed & cut with Unbranded die - - My favorite way to do sentiments is to print them with various computer fonts and then add them.  It allows me more options without overextending my budget.

Persian Cat Says He's the Birthday Present !

     Here at Crafting with an Attitude we love seeing attitude in any form!  For our latest challenge, which starts today, we're being sponsored by Some Odd Girl and I fell in love with this "Angry Persian" image.  Look at the attitude showing in that expression!

     I used ProMarkers to color the image, then cut it with a hexagonal die from QuicKutz.  The aqua frame is also cut with another die from that set.  I made a shaped card by cutting the base with another Quickutz die.

     I printed and cut the small sentiment at the bottom of the image, trimming the shape to fit in with the hexagon.  The "happy birthday" sentiment was cut with a Tim Holtz - Sizzix die.  There was already so much going on with the borders of the card, I decided that it needed no embellishment beyond that created by the die cutting.
