This is my card for Lisa's MMTPT369 Cleopatra challenge.
What an amazing teapot. And thank goodness Cleopatra had a cat on her lap, even if it wasn't quite as aristocratic looking as I imagine Egyptian cats to be. I've already seen some quite amazing cards when I linked Lisa's in to the challenge thread this morning - but I think you know by now I don't really do digital and prefer to make do with what I have on hand.
So, as well as the grey cat, I took the stripes and the deep lapis blue and turquoise, and went all out with using gilding flakes for my gold.
Image stamped and coloured with pencils. Layered onto some embossed turquoise card.
Deep blue card has stripes of double-sided tape laid across it, to which I added gilding flakes and burnished them in.
Base is white embossed with the chevron ef, and for some Cleopatra (or Elizabethan!) glamour I added layered ribbon (love that velvet ric-rac) and some tiny gems.

Cleopatra would have loved this cat!!! What a terrific take on the challenge. I love the background, perfect setting and great colours. Any teapotter would love this for sure.

Cute idea to use the cat as your image. I really, really like all those gold flakes..wowza..they look so cool and are absolutely something you'd see when viewing Egyptian art. Fabulous card!!
