Christmas Kitty

Happy Wednesday!!  It's time for another challenge from The House That Stamps.  This week is a Designer's Choice Challenge and Joy has chosen: Pets

And here is the card I created:
I am definitely a crazy cat lady--I currently have 4 orange stripey cats: one old man and three baby kittens.  But my baby that I had for 18 + years was a sweet little gray kitty.  Gray cats are always my favorite to color because of this.  Plus, orange just didn't work with my color scheme.  I chose this pretty patterned paper and chose the rest of the colors for my card from that: red/cranberry and gray.  I even had a matching red button for a fun finishing touch.
Thanks for stopping by!  Make sure you head on over to The House blog to see what the rest of the Design Team has done with this photo.  And if you "need" any of the stamps I used, check out my 10% off your entire order coupon code over in my lift sidebar.

Love your coloring on the cat! I have that mat stack from PTI and it's one of my favs - haven't used it in a while. Great pet Christmas card!

What a fun "pet" card for this challenge, I love cats, (and dogs too), and our Thomas was a gray kitty. He was our first- and maybe a bit spoiled. It is fun tocolor gray cats - and that is what I used in my challenge. Love the pattern paper and the matching button.

Adorable cat image and like how you have the pop of red and green on the pretty bow to match your background pretty design paper. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble and great interpretation of the AHSC.

I've seen card sketches using three panels before and have never been impressed before now. The button, border die, and ribbon that you added take this right over the top!

Thanks for joining us at Cut it Up for our Christmas challenge!

Enjoy the season!
