Snarky Christmas Cat


 I have a friend who is a cat mom, and her cat is a handful sometimes with his finicky behavior and antics, so I made this card for her just for laughs.
The background was embossed with a Crafters Companion 3D Christmas Magic ef, and the cat, Santa hat, and bowtie are all from the the Tim Holtz crazy cat stamp collection. The Bah Humbug sentiment is a die from Die'sire Designs. I used a fine red marker to add red lines to the cat's eyes because this cat is usually awake all night long tormenting her while she tries to sleep. 😫

Entering this card into the following challenges


The Allsorts Challenge week #795 - delightful animals or A/G


Can You Handle the Pressure?  - A/G using an EF *opt twist of "leaves"

That's a wrap for me, but thanks for stopping by and have yourself a fantastic day today.

This poor cat looks hassled. Must have had a run-in with the Grinch. I would agree with his attitude if he did. Still smiling.

Hugs and Blessings
