I recently celebrated a very special birthday. It was special not because it was a "milestone year" (it wasn't), but because my daughter made sure it was the best birthday ever. :) Among other things, she gifted me with a massage - wonderful!!! Naturally I wanted to let her know how much I appreciated all she did for me.
This is the card I made. It HAD to have a cat theme since she loves cats. I had made the focal (glossy card stock colored with alcohol ink and embossed with white powder using JustRite Stamps "Thank You Labels Twenty" and "Grand Sentiments" and cut with a die from Spellbinder's "Labels Twenty"). The patterned paper was from a DCWV mat stack.
The "owl and the pussycat" in the background paper were too small to fully carry out the cat theme that I wanted, but I had a challenge figuring out how to add a larger cat. I have not yet found much in the way of cat stamps that I really like, so couldn't add one that way. And I don't have any cat dies either. In going through my stash I came across a piece of patterned paper with cats on it. YES!!! I simply cut one out of the paper and completed my card! :)
