Hang in there kitty

Here is a card I have made using the sketch over at Papertake Weekly this week.

The image is a Karens Doodles image which I have coloured in with Promarkers. The cute cat backing paper is some I have hanging around for a while from Papernation. I have edged the card and the pieces of card on top with gold fine line peel offs and added four gold corners.

Rich's Birthday Card

Here is a card I have made for my friend Julies hubby Rich who is a fireman. I bought the decoupage some time ago but wanted to make a card that was a little different.

The papers are from two Pink Petticoat downloads called Pinstripes and lots of dots.

I made the card using an A4 piece of card and cut to 297mm x 15cm.

With the long side at the top I scored down 5cm from the 6cm mark, 10cm down from the 12cm mark and then I scored upwards to 10cm mark from 18cm mark and scored up 5cm from 24cm mark.

The using a craft knife I cut between the score lines. I hope that makes sense but if not please email me and I can try an explain another way.

Ideally I would have done everything divisable by 5cm but wouldn't have been able to fit the decoupage on the front of the card.
