Cat Lover's Birthday Card


I have a dear friend who is celebrating her birthday (mid 80's) next month, so I always try to make her a card with a kitty on it, since she loves cats!
For this one, I used a die-cut window a friend sent me a long time ago (sorry, I don't know who makes it) and lined it with a piece of soft sky cardstock. I used a Brutus Monroe cloud stamp on the soft sky piece, coloring the clouds with both white and clear Wink of Stella pens. I added 2 flying birds with a SNSS stamp and added a black cat done with a SU! punch. The sentiment is a pre-printed one from SSS and the background dsp is a retired piece from SU!.

I'll share this with the following challenges:

2 Crafty Critter Crazies #52 - must use a critter (cat)


NBUS #28 - Never Before Used Schtuff (Brutus Monroe Stamp set)




 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope all is well with you. It sure is a hot spell here in PA, whew!!

A sweet and clean design for this black cat! Love the way you realized the sky behind the stitched window! And the cute birds too! I have a similar cat punch, thanks for the inspiration! ;)
Here it's hot too, but not too much at this moment. I'm enjoying my vegetable garden, there are a lot of works to do!
Sending big hugs and love! Enjoy your porch! :)

Great scene for the kitty and a fun card for a cat lover.

OMGosh, I love this card Carol! Your kitty sitting looking out the window is so sweet. He is probably eyeing those birds. lol Love that window and love the papers you used on this one. Especially that sky paper. I know your friend will adore this card! Hot, hot, hot and very humid for sure! I swear we might as well be southern, because our humidity is getting just as bad. I guess it is global warming, who knows. Stay cool my friend, stay cool! Hugs, Brenda
