This is one of my favorite monthly challenges over at The House that Stamps Built.
And that is the Tic Tac Toe Challenge: here is the board we had to choose from:
I went with the black cat, gate fold, and embossing. My first thought was Halloween but as I was looking through my cat stamps I thought Christmas instead. I stamped 2001-M Peaceful Observation and the sentiment to go with is 6518-D Silent Wonder. I colored the image with copic markers and then decided to add some nighttime sky to the window panes. (Should have thought of the first), then for the snow flakes I used my white pen. I used a gold gel pen around the panes, ad added a bit of Wink of Stella on the cats bow. I thought the Silent Wonder went very well with this image, which I embossed in silver. Another Christmas card ready for mailing this year.
Now why not take a look at our DT Rock Stars for inspiration and to get you started.

This is gorgeous, like the silver embossing and your coloring!
Awesome gatefold card for this month's TTT challenge. I like that you turned it into a Christmas card! I so need to get started on mine!
Really love that image and the beautiful snowfall sky kitty is looking at! Brilliantly done with the challenge and design Shirley! HUGS
This is such a great card. I love the cat image. Is the image panel attached to one side of the gatefold and the sentiment to the other side? I just thought that's how I would probably do it. It feels good to start adding extra Christmas cards to the pile, doesn't it?
Very pretty!! I love how you added the night sky to the background; it looks really great!
So Gorgeous Shirley..loz
