Three Kings Day Kitty

You may have seen my New Year's post about our grape tradition; well, there's another Spanish tradition we always followed while I was growing up: Three Kings Day. You can see the cards I've made previously for this holiday here on my blog. This year, I focused on the tradition of leaving your shoes out for the Kings to leave presents in.

I thought it would be fun to use this "Party Animal" rubber stamp by Strawberry Kisses/Crafter's Companion.

I stamped the image four times: on white, shiny gray, gold, and silver papers (all purchased at Michaels). The silver base piece was cut/emobossed with a Pagemaps die. I added some detail on the kitty with a Warm Gray Copic, and then covered it with white flocking by rubbing it through my Xyron sticker machine (I did retrace it with an XS Pitt pen. The confetti & streamers with colored with a Wite-Out pen and also retraced with the black pen. The gold shoe was painted with gold Stickles. The sentiment is from a Dilo En Español set and was heat-embossed in detail gold (Stampendous).

Although difficult to see in this photo, there are three die-cut hearts on the bottom of the card. They were cut using SCAL and my Silhouette, from a black pre-glittered Core'Dinations cardstock.

The black background was edged with zig-zag scissors, and is backed with a shiny black paper (Recollections/Michaels). I finished the card with some Platinum Opal Liquid Pearls in the corners.
