From Hello Kitty to Grumpy Cat

I needed to make an 18th birthday card for a Hello Kitty fan, thing is, I don't own anything Hello Kitty related at all, so I drew said kitty onto some paper, cut it out in sections on card stock and patterned paper and then paper pieced it all together. Here's the result...


The patterned papers used are both by SU, the lighter pink from 'Tea Party', the darker from 'Sweet Always'.
The beautiful ornate frame is a lea'bilities die.
I used Die-namics 'by the letters' dies for her name, and crystal gems to make the number 18.

I'd like to enter this card at:
Top Tip Tuesday - paper piecing
Cute Card Thursday - pretty in pink
Charisma Cardz - fancy flourishes

Next, is Grumpy Cat....



This card is for my sister, whose birthday is today.  Happy Birthday Helen! xx
She loves Tardar Sauce (aka Grumpy Cat) so this just had to be done for her.
Like the hello kitty card I drew out the shapes needed first, then used them as a template on card stock to cut them out before gluing into place. The eyes were made by using circle punches then cut in half.
The background paper is by My Mind's Eye (Stella & Rose - Gertie)
The phrase at the top is handwritten.

Grumpy Cat would hate to be entered into any challenges, so I 'll do it instead ;) ...
Crafty Sentiments - anything goes
ABC challenges - U for unlimited
Catch the Bug - anything goes


Have a great day, i'll be back tomorrow with a card for the new LMM challenge. xx
