And here is my card for your inspiration:
All of Di's images are super cute but I really love her kitties!! Maybe it's because I love kitties in general. : ) Up until about 10 months ago, I had 3 of my very own. Sadly, my "old man" passed away only a couple months before his 18th birthday so now, I'm down to two. My "old man" was gray, so he is depicted by the kitty sitting on the present and my "big boy" is a stripey orange, so he's the other in the image. I managed to pull a few pieces out of my bits and pieces stash for this one: one of the balloons, one layer of on of the teal roses and the sentiment banner, and the star for the "leaves" under the yellow flower. It looks almost black, but the card base is a navy base I've had in my stash for probably 14 years. Someone gave me a bunch of card bases and pieces and I am slowly using them up. I colored both the image and my balloons with my spectrum noirs. The smaller, teal roses were made with a punch and the yellow was made with a die.
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you will get a chance to play along with us this challenge.

Love to see how you use your stash papers. This is a beautiful card - and the kitties are special. We had 3 not too long ago but our "old man" passed at 20 and our little Nikki was 16. Have one diabetic calico left.

ReplyDeleteSuch a cute card, thanks for sharing with us at CraftyCatz this week...x
ReplyDeleteThose kitties are adorable and I love that they represent your own little guys. I really like that the card itself is square - the same shape as the gift in the image - and your repetition of the balloons. Gorgeous paper, too!
