Day 4
"We're All Mad Here"
Loveleigh Kitties in Wonderland
Gothic Palentine Card
by Leigh
 
Today is the finale of our 4 day Gothic Valentine CREATivities and I'm back with a PURRtastic Palentine make featuring my new Loveleigh Kitties in Wonderland Collection of quirky cute digi stamp Wonderland characters plus a senti.
 
 
I love how adorable the 5 of them look in this collaged group of Wonderland pals I did using the individual images and printed out two sizes of my coloured image in black and white to get the grey scale look.  I used the larger print for my Day 1 make and the smaller print for today's Gothic Palentine make.
 

 
The Loveleigh Kitties in Wonderland Characters are available in a Bundle and individually:
AliceHatterQueenCheshire and Rabbit and the Wonderland Senties and Wonderland Quotes are also available in a Bundle or individually too.  The entire collection is so fun as one cohesive set for lots of Wonderland crafting adventures.
 
 
 "We're All Mad Here" is one of the 7 sayings included in the Wonderland Senties set.
I did a "print and cut" with an offset using my Silhouette Cameo 5 electronic cutting machine to print and fussy cut out the senti.
 

 
I used the large circle die included in a new fancy frame die set called Floral Dream by Crafter's Companion to die cut out my cute kitties.  I then used the circle die as a stencil to make a matching mat layer that's just slightly larger than the die cut.  I traced the shape onto deep red cardstock and cut the mat out with scissors.  


I applied Black Soot Distress Ink to the edges of the die cut circle and the senti which helped tone down the white of the cardstock and give the scene a more Gothic vibe.  The only touch of colour in the collaged scene are all the hearts which I coloured with a red glitter gel pen.  I also coloured the centers of the senti letters that include the tiny hearts.
 
 
The large square die cut panel is also from the Floral Dream by Crafter's Companion die set.  I die cut the floral panel from black cardstock and adhered it to a mat layer I cut from a beautiful deep red glitter cardstock.  I then applied Spectrum Noir Midas Gold pigment ink directly to the red circle shaped mat and the black decorative die cut panel for a touch of distressed elegance.  I also embellished all 4 corners with tiny red glitter and gold peel off hearts I've had in my stash forever.
 
  
I made a 5.5 x 5.5 inch top fold card from linen textured deep red cardstock and mounted the square black decorative panel, with the red glitter mat attached, onto the folded card.  I then used black foam tape to mount the circle panel to the round shaped center of the black panel and the senti to the card, which I matted onto a strip of red glitter card, for some fun dimension.
 
 
We hope you've enjoyed our Gothic Valentine CREATities this year!  You've still got until 11:55pm pacific tonight to join in our mini Gothic Valentine Hop or you can add your Gothic Valentine makes to our February Challenge by Feb 28th if you've missed the hop!

Day 3
"Off With Their Heads"
Loveleigh Kitties in Wonderland
 Gothic Valentine Tag
by Val
 
For Day 3 of our Gothic Valentine CREATivities LeighSBDesigner Val has a PURRtastic grunge tag to inspire you featuring the Queen of Hearts from my new Loveleigh Kitties in Wonderland Collection of quirky cute digi stamp Wonderland characters.
 

  Val printed and fussy cut out the Queen - Loveleigh Kitty in Wonderland cutie with CATtitude and coloured her up with a combination of Promarkers and Sakura glitter gel pens.
 


The "Off With Their Heads" saying is one of the 7 fun and quirky senties included in the Wonderland Senties set.
 
 
 
You can either print the senti out as a strip saying or cut each word out separately like Val has done here.  You can also do a print and cut with an offset using your electronic cutting machine and have a shaped senti too, so many fun possibilities!  Val then layered each word onto black shadow mats to make the words pop against her red background.
 
 
 Val used Tag dies to cut the concentric layers from red and black cardstock and the large background tag is cut from a printed sheet of my "Heart Confetti" Slimline Decorative Digi Paper from the Valentine Slimline pack.
 
LeighSBDesigns "Valentine" Slimline Decorative Digi Paper Pack
 
 To complete her PURRtastic tag she adhered Queen - Loveleigh Kitty in Wonderland to the layered tag mats with foam squares for a pop of dimension and embellished with corner dies cut from black cardstock and red sparkle eyelash fiber.
 
We hope you're enjoying our Gothic Valentine CREATities so far and are inspired to join in on our mini Gothic Valentine Hop!

"To Me You Are Perfect"
Gothic Valentine Make
by Fan Feature Mia
 
Mia is joining us today for our Gothic Valentine CREATivities with her PURRtastic Fan Feature make for February featuring my adorable Love Hearts Loveleigh Kitty from the Love Cats mini Collection.

Mia created her beautiful grungy Gothic make digitally.  She coloured Love Hearts Loveleigh Kitty's little hearts in red and a peachy-pink and both bows in blue and kept her body white that makes the colours pop nicely.  She then digitally collaged Love Hearts Loveleigh Kitty onto the grungy Gecko Galz paper and added the free Google hearts and the frame along with the computer generated sentiment "To Me You Are Perfect!!!".
 
 
 
You can get the Love Hearts Loveleigh Kitty in the Love Cats Bundle as well as individually.


  Thank you Mia for being our Fan Featured Guest today with your beautiful Gothic Love Hearts Loveleigh Kitty inspirational make ❤️

Day 1
"Loveleigh Kitties in Wonderland"
Gothic Valentine Card
by Leigh
 
I'm kicking off our Gothic Valentine CREATivities today with a PURRtastic Valentine make featuring my new Loveleigh Kitties in Wonderland Collection of quirky cute digi stamp Wonderland characters.
 
 
I love how adorable the 5 of them look in this collaged group scene and printed out my coloured image in black and white for today's Gothic Valentine make.
The Loveleigh Kitties in Wonderland Characters are available in a Bundle and individually:
AliceHatterQueenCheshire and Rabbit
 
 
I used a large heart shaped die from a new die set called Beautiful Butterfly by Crafter's Companion to die cut out my cute kitties.
 
 
I then used the heart die as a stencil to make a matching mat layer that's just slightly larger than the die cut.  I traced the shape onto deep red cardstock and cut the mat out with scissors. 
 
 
I applied Black Soot Distress Ink to the edges of the die cut heart which also helped tone down the white of the cardstock and give the scene a more Gothic vibe.
 
 
The only colour I added to the image scene is the pretty deep red Nuvo dimensional drops which I applied to all the hearts in the image.


The large square die cut panel is also from the Beautiful Butterfly by Crafter's Companion die set.  I die cut the panel from black cardstock and adhered it to a mat layer I cut from a beautiful deep red glitter cardstock.  I then applied Spectrum Noir Midas Gold pigment ink directly to the red heart shaped mat and the black decorative die cut panel for a touch of distressed elegance.  I embellished all 4 corners with little flourish pieces that came out of the black die cut panel and applied the red Nuvo drops to them to create the 3D elements.
 
 
I made a 5.5 x 5.5 inch top fold card from linen textured deep red cardstock and mounted the square black decorative panel, with the red glitter mat attached, onto the folded card.  I then mounted the heart panel to the heart shaped center of the black panel with black foam tape for some fun dimension.
 
 
To complete my card I made a little red bow from silk ribbon and tucked it in above the heart.  I then embellished the bow center with a little black die cut flower, you'll see where that came from in my next make, and added a tiny red glitter heart edged in metallic gold to the flower center.

 
I do hope you'll visit us each day and enjoy our Gothic Valentine makes and be inspired to join in on our mini Gothic Valentine Hop.  All the info and the linky are below!
