Kitty-Ology

Hi there 🙂 I was looking for a die for another card I made, and came across the Tattered Lace Essentials Book Die set that I’ve had for years, and never used! I might be a bit late for the party, but it’s always a good time for books!! I cut the card base with the biggest die, then cut some of the smaller pages out from a book that I have specifically to use for card making. I inked the edges with some distress ink,to give it a bit of a vintag look, then assembled the base, giving the pages a bit of dimension. I printed out the Kitty-ology image from Whimsy Stamps, and colored it up with my Copics before fussy cutting it out.

I added some silver dots to the collar with my Posca, to give the studded look. The shape of the glasses reminded me of some sparkly glasses a friend has, so I dug out my teeny tiny (1mm) rhinestones, and glued some on. I attached the image, then die cut a sentiment for the opposite page. For a bit more sparkle, and to tie things all together, I added some of the tiny rhinestones to the stars on the sentiment, and scattered some across the book pages (which of course you can’t see, because cameras pick up what they want to!)

While I was making this card, I kept thinking of my niece, who is a book and kitty lover. Guess what she’s getting for her birthday? Lol I loved making this, and wonder why I let the die set sit for so long….I can definitely see more book cards in my future!!
