This card is a C5 sized card to make all of the elements look in proportion to each other.
For this Card I have used the Pampered Pets Suite of products from Stampin' Up!
I have used a piece of Whisper White Thick Cardstock for the base of the card, Scored at 14cm to make the uneven card, the short piece the front and the longer the back of the card. Next I have hand drawn a basic tree shape on a piece of Crumb Cake Cardstock with a grey lead pencil and once I was happy with my shape I cut out the tree then erased all of the lines left from the sketch. After this I used some of Stampin' Up!'s Linen Thread to wind around the branches etc of the tree to make it look more like a cat tree as they have rope for cats to scratch at. once I was happy with these I then drew the shapes I wanted to use for the perches etc and cut these out too.. Then I added the Carpet/matting pieces to each perch copying the shapes from the original sketches. To get the complete shapes I used a craft knife to refine the shapes once I got close. I used Smoky Slate card stock for these and cut them out then added the texture look dotting them with the Dark Smoky Slate Stampin' Blend. Once I was happy with all of these and had them attached (some shapes now looked better than the original sketches) I highlighted the ends with the Dark Soft Suede then also drew on the tree's texture lines with the same marker. Adding some Dark Just Jade Stampin' Blend at the bottom of the trunk to give it a grass like appearance. Once I was satisfied with all of the elements I attached the "Cat Tree" to the card base using Dimensionals to attach it, in some places 2 stacked on top of each other to give the appearance of some branches being in front of others. I placed the Cats onto the branches as I chose, I mostly fussy cut these however was able to use the die for one. Feeling the bottom looked a bit empty I added the black cat and the mouse which had also been hand cut (fussy cut). Happy with these as I had decided to use a piece of of Designer Series Paper (DSP) along the edge of the longer part of the inside of the card i cut a 8mm piece for the front left hand side of the card then tied with a bow, a piece of the coordinating twine to wrap around the middle of the card as an added accent. The sentiment for the card is Black Stampin' Emboss Powder heat embossed onto a piece of Real Red Card Stock which is also highlighted in this piece of DSP. I used a Die from the Hippo And Friends Dies to cut the sentiment out.
On the inside of the card I have placed a piece of Basic Black cardstock measuring 12.8cm x 20.8cm beside the 1 inch piece of DSP. on top of this I have attached a piece of whisper White cardstock measuring 12.5 x 20.5cm, these have been centered to fit beside the DSP. on the White piece I have stamped the cat from the stamp set in Basic Black in the bottom right corner and the sentiment in Real Red in the middle.
