"USA" Americana Loveleigh Kitty Slimline Card by Leigh

Happy 4th of July Weekend Creative Friends

"USA"

Americana Loveleigh Kitty

Slimline Card

by Leigh

 

My new Americana Loveleigh Kitty July release is the star of my fun slimline card today!  I had lots of fun colouring Americana Kitty in vintage colours and paired him up with the contemporary patterned paper that makes my 4th of July make both nostalgic and bright and bold.

 

 

I fussy cut out Americana Kitty with my Silhouette Cameo 5 electronic cutting machine with an offset white border to make him pop nicely against the background.

 

 

I applied Crystal Stickles glitter to all the white stripes on his hat and body as well as his eyebrows, mustache, beard and his cute fluffy tail and gold glitter to all the stars for lots of pretty sparkle.

 

 

 The "USA" sentiment is cut from a sheet of patterned paper which I also edged with glitter glue.

 

 

I cut the background patterned paper panel 1/4 inch smaller than my slimline card, which I made from a sheet of heavy weight white cardstock, and adhered it to the card with glue.  I then completed my fun card by mounting Americana Kitty and the sentiment to the card with foam tape for some fun dimension and embellished 3 of the corners with self-adhesive star gems.

My new Americana Loveleigh Kitty July release is the star of my fun slimline card today!  I had lots of fun colouring Americana Kitty in vintage colours and paired him up with the bright fireworks patterned paper that makes my 4th of July make both nostalgic and whimsical.
