A Purrrrfect Housewarming.

I have been playing with the Natural Composition Specialty Designer Paper. p.150 of the new catalogue.
This designer paper has a cardstock thickness so you can use it for cards and boxes as well.

Last Saturday's workshop was also a Housewarming Party so I decided to make a Housewarming Card for my Hostess with the Natural Composition dsp.
She has two much loved cats and I wanted to incorporate them somehow into my card.
Come and see what I came up with...
I used the Woodgrain pattern for the card front.

Kinda cute hey? Doesn't it make you smile?
I have used Daffodil Yellow, Tempting Turquoise , Whisper White and Naturals Composition dsp for the cardstock. I think the Daffodil Yellow and Tempting Turquoise are cheery colours don't you?

I punched out squares with my 1" square punch to make a window frame and added a 1cm strip top and bottom for the pelmet and eave.
Half a doily folded in half again and sponged with Tempting Turquoise Ink became a lacy curtain in the window. The little cat is made with two small circles - 1/2" and 3/4". Cut two small triangles for ears and a thin strip slightly curved for the tail.

For her gift I made this Fancy Favour Box again using the Natural Composition dsp.

A Daffodil Yellow Blossom Punch Flower and Pool Party Embossed Vellum Swallowtail butterfly decorated the front.

Here they are together. Don't they look good?
