Simply Create Too Challenge 25 Midway Extra - Colour Combo

The Simply Create Too challenge is at it's midway point so here is my inspiration for the colour combo theme of:

Yellow, Orange and Black

I'm not much of a Halloween person so I had to think of something a bit different and this ginger cat was perfect!  I've used a freebie image which was pre coloured (the best kind!) and sentiment from a recent Papercraft Inspirations magazine and cut the image with an X Cut fancy die then added a faux running stitch around the edge.

The papers are Cosmo Cricket Mr Campy - I do like these papers! And I've added black card for layering.  The ribbon is from the scrap store and I've added a recycled button and some embroidery thread.

There are 6 images to the sheet of A4 and I've simply printed them as they came, so I have some more to go at and I have a feeling I'll be using the same papers too!

Good luck with the challenge - for more details pop over to Simply Create Too!

  3. What a darling little kitty! Reminds me of ours. He passed away this year at the ripe old age of 20. He was so lazy in the last few years that birds could flutter all around him hehe - your coloring is darling, and the background panels look amazing against the black!
