I started with the background by white heat-embossing several of the smaller images from this set: the food dish, mouse, fish, hearts, paw print, and ball of yarn. I used the watercolour smooshing technique with Peacock Feathers, Mowed Lawn, and Wilted Violet Distress Inks. This is such a fun technique, and I love how it turned out!
I added some left-over glitter cardstock scraps (DCWV) to the right edge (I like the scalloped edge of the silver one - it was the leftover negative from Waltzingmouse Stitched Scalloped Rectangles). I coloured the adorable kitty with watercolor markers and fussy-cut so I could pop him up with foam tape. I die-cut a small notebook page (Taylored Expressions) from striped vellum and stamped the sentiment in black. I finished off the card by adding a crystal paw print and several coordinating sequins.

Dear Miss Kitty...
You turned out to be my 250th Follower, and I am so excited. Blogger took away a bunch of my followers over a period of time as they did to lots of other people which upset me terribly because I had made a little gift for my 250th. Before I could look into who it was, that person disappeared. Since then I have been waiting for #250 to roll around again. Well, cutie pie, you are it, and I cannot wait to send you your little present. My email is genier39atgmaildotcom. Please drop me a note with your mailing address, and I will get it into the mail. Am going upstairs now to wrap it. Again, thanks so much for being a follower. Genie
Purr fect.. LOL Super cute images and great card. Thank you for sharing your creative project with us at the Vintage Stamping challenge.
Love the colorful cat themed background you've made and you found a clever way to decorate it without covering it up. And you know I love cats too:) sorry I'm late visiting, have had little internet time this past week...
Wonderful image and gorgeous background colors.
Hugs Diane
