PBSC September - Anything Goes (Optional 'Anything but Square')...More Inspiration!

It's the third Saturday of the month, so that means it's time for some more inspiration for this month's Penny Black Saturday Challenge...where the theme is:

'Anything Goes'

or

'Anything but Square'

As usual, we are sponsored by the awesome 1-2-3 Stitch:

Prize - a $20 voucher!

I made a diamond fold card this time. The shape always reminds me of a Christmas cracker, so I picked a cute kitty stamp from the 'Joy to the World' set, stamping him on to a snippet of watercolour paper, colouring him using watercolour pencils, then carefully cutting him out. I used snippets of Christmas tree covered paper, from the 'Wonderful Winter' pad by My Mind's Eye, to decorate the sides, then cut a circle of the same paper, using one of my Nesties, matting it on to some more green card, cut into a scalloped circle using another of my Nesties. Finally, I added the cute kitty on top, popped up on some 3D foam pads.

I'm also entering this card into a following challenges:

• As You Like It - Favourite Die (My circle Nesties...I've had them for since before I started my blog (in 2008!) and they're my most used dies...I'd never be able to cut such a neat circle without them!)
• C.R.A.F.T. - Christmas
• Crafty Gals Corner - Anything Goes
• Elliebelle's Crafty Wednesday - Anything Goes
• Merry Little Christmas - Anything Christmas Goes
