Happy Birthday Kitty in Basket

I was inspired to make this birthday card by the July colour challenge on the Official Magenta Blog.  I stamped the kitty in black on white cardstock, coloured with pencils, and mounted on a die-cut decorative square.  I layered patterned paper on to blue cardstock, which covered a white card base, and affixed the kitty panel with foam tape.  I stamped the sentiment in black on the bottom right-hand corner and then embellished with a triple-layered flower, a butterfly charm tied with purple string, and three pink gems.  Here are the supplies I used:

• Stamps:  Cat in basket (Magenta), sentiment (Stampcraft)
• Ink:  Versafine Onyx Black
• Coloured Pencils:  Prismacolor
• Cardstock:  Recollections
• White Card Base:  Domtar
• Patterned Paper:  Trimgym's Digistamps, Papers and Images (thank you, Jo!) 
• Die:  Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Squares
• Embellishments:  Flower, butterfly charm, string, gems (Dollarama)
