\nToday I have a die cut, paper pieced, mid-century mod birthday card. The two cool cats were put together with an assortment of dies and the background is a partial sunrays stained glass die with only some of the pieces colored in. It has a real 50’s-60’s vibe to it.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nFor the Inspiration Challenge IC997, we are visiting a site called Kate McEnroe & her Pinterest Board. I was inspired by THIS<\/em><\/span><\/a> picture. I really love the atomic cat look & my only problem was figuring out a way to create this pair of cool cats. I’ll admit, I had to look through a lot of dies to come up with some to piece together.<\/span>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nTo make the cat bodies, I used a large & a small vase, since the shape was so similar. The tails were the curliques from the Get Well Soon die. The head on the small cat is actually a letter D from the Vintage Alpha set turned sideways w\/ white in the center. For the large cat head, I just cut a pointy oval shape then added the punch outs from the Hugs die. A black marker was used to add the vertical pupils. The ears on the large cat are just triangular pieces. The Sunrays background was cut out of ivory & I used ink to color in some of the pieces. A pointy flower die was used for the sun shape. The black frame was made w\/ 2 arched dies. After attaching it on top of the background I used the larger one to cut it the same size as the frame.
