Sisters of Craft October challenge - "Anything Goes" theme

Can't believe it's the 1st of October already, where does the time go ?  This time I made two projects for the above challenge, using the Ditzie Design digi image "Hello Sweetie".  I saw the idea for the notepad and pencil holder on a Create and Craft show, and I tried to give my card a "Cruella de Vil" theme from the film "101 Dalmations", except this time with kitties instead of puppies !

Here's the link to the challenge http://thesistersofcraft.blogspot.co.uk/

 

I cut a piece of white card 10 x 26 cm, then scored at 1 cm and 9 cm in, and folded the card up to make the base.  Then cut another piece of card 10 x 16 cm to form the easel section on which the image is attached.  I coloured her in using Promarkers and added a feather for a bit of fun !  Bakers twine was used to edge the card base and easel section, with a couple of gems to finish.

 

I cut a piece of card large enough to form a tube in which to place the pencil, (including placing a small strip across the bottom of the tube so the pencil didn't fall through) and stuck it to the back of the image, and then stuck this to the easel section of the card.  This section was then attached to the 1 cm scored flap of the white base card.  Once the post-it notepad is in place you have the "stopper" for the easel section.

 

I covered a kraft card with black and white patterned paper, coloured the images using Promarkers, matted and layered on to black and red mirror card and placed onto card.  Then I stuck a peel off of kitties to a piece of card to give it more support, cut around it and placed in the centre of the card.
