Patiently Waiting Layout and Several Cards

Hi there,

I'm sharing another layout and several cards that I've worked on.

The plan is to upload them to The Scrapville Blog http://thescrapvilleblog.blogspot.com/

for their Nov/Dec Layout Sketch.  But first I have to figure out where they are 

uploaded!

The layout sketch is below:

 

Here is the card sketch:

 

The layout I created:

This is Tom, our loveable cat.  He was strictly an indoor cat and only went outside on a leash.

Yes, we trained him on to be on a leash.  We had previously lost two cats to the foxes that

were roaming around and a lot of people lost their cats to them.  That wasn't going to happen

to us anymore!  

This photo shows Tom waiting at the door, just sitting there patiently.  He would sit

this way for a long time too!  His ears are turned back a bit because I was laughing

so hard while taking this photo, but he still stayed right where he was!!  Silly cat!!

Supplies used:

Paper: K&Co., DCWV

Cording

Recycled Corrugated Cardboard and Cardboard: Used for Die Cuts

Sizzix Flowers, Heart and Buckles Dies

Distress Stain: Tim Holtz

Perfect Pearls Mists

Folk Art Glitter Paint

Alcohol Inks: Adirondack

Big Shot

"Cats Rule" Sticker Tag: Daisy Hill

Ribbons

 

The recycled cardboard die cuts were stained and misted.  A knotted ribbon serves as

the center of the larger flower.

 

In threading the ribbon through the buckle, I pulled on the thread running through the center

of the ribbon and it scrunched!  Wow, this was pretty cool, so I scrunched it more and adhered the thread

under the ribbon.  I thought this was pretty cool.

 

The cat's paw sticker was adhered onto cardstock and trimmed.  A ribbon was knotted

at the top.

 

A few other buckles were added in the upper portion of the page with different ribbons.

The buckles were stained and misted also.

 

I found this hearts/paws paper and knew this is what would look great on my page!

Isn't it cute?

 

A better view of the glitter paint.  I used a strip of paper with holes in it and a

paintbrush to dab the paint randomly over the paper.

 

 Another shot of the cardboard trio grouping.

Here are my cards.  I started out making only one card, but then realized, why not make 

more.  I completed 5 cards with 2 sheets of 12x12 papers.  Pretty cool!

So why not show you the variety.  :)

I cut out the "window" with my Nestabilities die.  There were two dies cut because I adhered

the pp to the front of the card beforehand.  So, the white cardstock became the inside of

the card, which was stamped with this cute little vase of flowers along with the sentiment.

A border punch was used on the bottom strip and ribbon added.  The flowers are from a lei

purchased at a discount store.  The buttons were attached with embroidery floss.

The white die cut was rubbed lightly with chalk, the sentiment added and finally it

was misted.  The lace rosette was hand made with a cute button added in the center.

For this card the sentiment was stamped onto the pp inside the card.  The die cuts are from

Nancy O'Dell, which were rubbed lightly with chalk to give them some color.  A paper piercer

made the line of the butterfly.

This die cut was adhered with pop dots.  A different border punch was used on the

bottom strip of paper.  Knotted rick rack are the centers of the flowers and looped ribbon

under the flowers serving as leaves.

The inside of the card was kept white, so the die cut of pp would show better.

Ribbon and rick rack were added at the bottom.  I layered several flowers and used

embroidery floss to affix the button.

Thanks for looking!

Hope you enjoyed your visit!
