๐Ÿ’€ Egyptian Cats Luminary ๐Ÿ’€
Pyramid Box by Leigh
 
My Day 29 of 31 Days of Halloween Hop plus Day 4 of the Cat Lovers Hop inspiration for you today is a mystical Egyptian luminary featuring my Egyptian Cats, Cleo and Horus๐ŸŽƒ
 
 
Prepare to worship at the mighty Pyramid of the Cat gods!
 
 
Oh mystical kitty cats we honour you and bring you toys and treats!
 
 
The Pyramid of Cats glows with magical power at night!
 

Watch my little video to see the mystical magic in action!
 
 
 I printed out 2 each of my Cleo and Horus Egyptian Cats with 1 of each as a mirror image.   I coloured them with Copics and fussy cut them out.  I then fussy cut mats from black cardstock for each cat too.
 
 
 I made a pyramid window box cut from a sheet of heavy weight watercolour cardstock I coloured with Black Soot and Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide sprays, Black Soot Stain and Tarnished Pewter Distress Stain sprays to get the look of metal.  I lined each window with spiderweb segments cut from a Silhouette Design Store Cobweb Lace cut file by Jennifer Wambach then covered each window with orange cellophane from my Quality Street sweets stash of coloured cellophanes....Quality Street is an English candy brand๐Ÿ˜‰. I then cut a hole the size of a flameless tea light into the base flap of the box, adhered the matted cats to each box panel and assembled the box.
 
 
 Neo gave it his seal of approval๐Ÿ˜ป
 
 
๐Ÿ˜ป Neo is my gorgeous ruddy Abyssinian boy ๐Ÿ˜ป

and
๐Ÿ˜ปDay 4 of the Cat Lovers Blog Hop๐Ÿ˜ป


On a recent dig in Egypt a mysterious Pyramid Box was discovered!  Horus the Egyptian Cat proudly sits upon the lid of the mummy cloth bound box surrounded by hieroglyphs embossed in precious silver๐Ÿ˜ป  The handsome Cat god thinks hoomans are Foolish Mortals coz no matter how many times we're warned about mummy curses we're still going to open the box!!!!

FLASH SALE  
Horus the Egyptian Cat is on sale until midnight pacific tonight!


 I coloured Horus the Egyptian Cat with Copics and white prismacolor pencil with metallic silver gel pen details.  I used a cool colour palette for the entire project except for Horus' eyes which are orange so they'd stand out nicely.  I mounted Horus onto Crafter's Companion matt black cardstock for extra chunkiness and fussy cut him out.


To make the pyramid box I used Crafter's Companion Gemini Triangular Double-sided Box dies and die cut the base and lid out of Crafter's Companion Sheena white heavy weight cardstock.


I then coloured the box pieces with Blueprint Sketch, Seedless Preserves and Black Soot Distress Oxide Sprays.  I also stained a length of Tim's Mummy Cloth with the same sprays.


Using Midas Spectrum Noir Silver pigment ink I stamped the Judikins hieroglyphs rubber stamp all over the box base and lid and embossed with silver embossing powder.


Once the box pieces were assembled I adhered Tim's Halloween Words metal Adornment to the box with foam tape to add dimension and added the mummy cloth to the loops and secured the cloth in place around the box lid with glue dots and tied the ends together on the back of the box.


I mounted Horus onto the box lid with 3D silicone gel for lots of yummy dimension.


This is Neo, my beautiful Abyssinian๐Ÿ˜ป
He hangs out in my studio while I create and loves checking out all my finished projects๐Ÿ˜ป


He's a gorgeous boy๐Ÿ˜ป
