This week at One Stitch at a Time (OSAAT), our theme is Anything Goes. StitchyBear's Digi Outlet has hundreds of digital products from many wonderful artists, and if you use one of our products you'll be entered to win the super-duper main prize.
I used the Two Kittens set by Barbara Jensen, available at StitchyBear's Digi Outlet. The cats come separately, so you can arrange them however you like.
The window and window box dies are from Memory Box. Both were cut/embossed from a plain white cardstock, but the window box is coated with Crackle Paint. I covered a piece of manila cardstock with lace for the window background.
The sentiment is from the Paw Prints set by Ailie Busby, and the tag die & stamp are from a Doodlebug/Sizzix set. The pawprints are from a Studio G set, and heat-embossed directly onto the background in yellow.
The yellow tape is a true example of upcycling: it's medical tape! My husband had some blood drawn, and as soon as he came out of the office he said to me, "Wait until you see what they used to wrap my arm with! You'll love it!" How could I resist using it‽ I actually own some white medical tape like this; it didn't work for our medical purpose, so it got put it my crafting stash! I decorated this piece with a Washi tape and an adhesive die-cut tape.

Oh Cg, I love how these cats are sitting on your brilliant window sill. I have a photo of my two boys on the windowsill here at home but either look impressed by being woken by a camera flash.
ReplyDeleteOh your poor husband being so strapped up after a blood test ....however, I'm sure he would suffer again in the interests of keeping your creative stash well stocked up.
Love Ingrid xx
What a lovely card. Those two cats perched on the window sill are just darling. (love that die by the way).

I love the design elements of your card especially the use of the window die - brilliant! However I have just guffawed at the thought of you grabbing your hubby's arm and tearing off the plaster (yellow tape). What a fabulous, understanding husband!
