I have never really “got” cats. Not that I don’t like them (because I LOVE all furry creatures!), but I have never been around a cat that was very friendly or nice to me (even when their owners SWORE they were the nicest!).
Fast forward to last October … I now have a kitty. Her name is Willow and I am OBSESSED with her! She is so friendly (she LOVES when people come over)! She is sweet and fun and adorable.
All this to say that the FIRST card I have now made - for this week’s TGIF Challenge - is kitty cat themed!
Check out the blog challenge here - TGIF Challenge Blog if you’d like to play along.
Using the above photo for inspiration, I created this card with playful kittens. My Willow is gray with white bits all over, so that’s what I went with.
I used my Stampin’ Blends to color the kittens Smoky Slate. The butterflies and flowers are colored with Pretty in Pink and Bubble Bath.
I used a blending brush to add a little whisper of pink to the white Perennial Postage panels behind the kittens.
The 3D Eyelet Embossing Folder was the PERFECT backdrop!
I cheated and used the retired Deckled Circle Dies to mount the sentiment … I was in a hurry and it was the first thing I could actually find (handy!) that had a circle shape in it!
I am in love with this card and how it turned out!
