While the Cat’s Away Day 5: Serenity
Filed under Cat's Away... 2014, French Vintage/Belle Epoque, Giveaways, Kits, Newsletters, Sale
Hey, it’s Day 5 of the While the Cat’s Away Giveaways! And today’s theme is Serenity.
I love the dark, rich colors in this kit. I started with three 12″ x 12″ scrapbook papers (with patterns including peonies — or maybe those are stylized poppies? — and paper lanterns). Then added coordinating black-enameled metal pendants (more like cabochons as they’re flat on the back and have artwork already glued in… a set of 5 including some filigree ones with rhinestone highlights) and a set of die-cut cardstock journaling cards (a big set in various sizes… 21 pieces).
Beside those papers, journaling cards and black metal bits (which are only available in this kit), I’ve used up the remaining stock on some items for this kit, like the Red Chinese Lantern Jingle Bells.
The kit also includes 3 collage sheets, that have just been put On Sale:
– Japanese Women Collage Sheet
– Cleo de Merode ATCs Collage Sheet
– Caroline Otero Collage Sheet
See the Serenity Kit page for a detailed list of all the items and more photos.
