Hello everyone! Today we have a fabby challenge starting over at Crafts 4 Eternity this week, it is ... VINTAGE.
A short while ago, I was asked to create an album for a 50th Birthday, with a cat theme and this is what I came up with. This is quite photo heavy, so look away now if you don't want to see it through :)
The album is A4 sized.
Papers: Creative Imaginations ~ Narrative.
I embossed the edges of EVERYTHING with gold embossing powder ... it was a labour of love ...
Spellbinders ~ Fancy Frames Tags Two die was used to house the birthday sentiment.
The cats I made, by tracing a cat shaped card around my chosen card and then cutting them out.
I used black gems for their eyes and nose ...
... and I couldn't resist giving them little chokers to wear.
I added some Prima gems to them.
A Prima flower which I also embossed and changed the pearls in the centre.
The numbers and name were embossed too!
So, that was the front of the album.
Now for the back ...
... well I had to do the back of the cats, didn't I?
Hold on ... I'm not finished yet!
Then I had to make a box to put it in :)
I kept the theme running (sorry wasn't able to get decent photos of this, as I was in a hurry to get it sent off).
So there you have it!

I love cats in general, and I especially love your cats! I like how you made them on both front and back of the card, and there are so many nice details on here, like their collars. Beautiful work and well done!
Keeley this is beautiful, and all that embossing....... I am sure that whoever it was for absolutely loved it.
Speak soon
Love
