‘Noel’ Kitty! * Blogger Challenge #2
This week’s Bloggers’ Challenge is to use Grunge Board and or Chipboard. If you don’t have either of these items, don’t worry! Maybe you have some coasters or even a cereal box that you can cut up. We’re very flexible! Remember that all you need to participate, is use the challenge requirement and upload your project to your blog and/or your online gallery. We want to showcase your projects on our Rubbernecker blog and ask that you please come back to this post, and add a link to your project in the comment section.
Well, if you’re like me, there’s a quiet little stash somewhere, just waiting to be used. You know where it is … and it’s quite possible that it needs to see the light of day. Personally, I needed this challenge. I needed to bring out that **cough-cough** stash, sort through my many pieces, and re-acquaint myself with its dimension and fun! Now to combine chipboard with a stamp, and soon I realized that my new ‘Noel’ stamp might be a fun place to start. Next decision …. maybe Christmas Kitty would benefit from a Noel tag. The rest is easy! Color!
The fluffy white part of kitty’s hat was plumped up with Liquid Applique. I also added shimmery glitter to the applique. The first time I saw that technique was on a few creations by the very talented Lisa Zappa. Thanks for being such an inspiration, Lisa! I used 2-way glue to carefully glitter the ‘Noel’, and set everything aside to dry while I watched a taped Dancing with the Stars. (Please feel free to insert your own taped program for your drying time.) Since the applique requires the use of a heat tool, I’d recommend saving stick-on embellishments until after the heating has been finished. So here she is, all decked out in a bit of sparkle and whimsy! Did you think about your grungeboard/chipboard stash? You’re very welcome to check out the challenge over at the Rubbernecker blog, and join in! Have a terrific Thursday, everyone!

Is that what that stamp is – – noel! I threw it away because I couldn’t understand why anyone would want a stamp with a 7 and a line through it . hahahahahahaha
Fabulous card and design, Bev!
I LOVE the No-L sentiment, that is just too precious!!
This is adorable! I really had to do a double take on the sentiment…hilarious!
Duh! Until I read the comments, I had no idea what the No-L was! So glad there’s at least 1 smart person (you) in our group!!!! This is a precious card, Bev!!!
I am such a huge cat lover. This card is adorable. I love everything about her. I was stumped on the No-L for a minute, then it finally registered. I love the sentiment. Hope to see you sometime next week.
