Purr Friends

Hello again!  As promised, I am back with another card for the 2019 Cat Lovers Hop Thank you to Janis at Her Peaceful Garden, who hosts this fun hop for us cat lovers!


I made another card for the 3 Colors challenge at Mod Squad Challenge Blog, where the challenge is to use only three colours:  black, brown, and cream.  The rules are tough - you must also include a tag on your card, and there can be no white, not even for the card base!


I die-cut the stitched tag (MFT Stitched Traditional Tag Stax) from cream cardstock and stamped the kitties (Handprints Two Cats wood-mounted rubber stamp, 1990) and sentiment (Simon Says Stamp Friends Forever) in black.  I die-cut the heart background (Taylored Expressions Blooming Hearts Cover Plate) in brown and mounted on black cardstock and then a cream card base.  I salvaged three of the brown heart offcuts and adhered them to the tag, which I adhered to the heart background with foam tape.  I die-cut a heart in cream and paper-pieced it on the background and added a die-cut "purr" (Recollections Cats), also in cream.

To make sure I didn't stray from the three colours, I stuck to using the black, brown, and cream paper from the Recollections Coffee and Cream cardstock pack:


I would also like to support the following challenges:

  24. That stamped image is so beautiful and I love that you are using older wood-mounted stamps. How clever to use the heart off-cuts from the die background to add as embellishments. This realistic image in brown, black and cream would be perfect for any cat lover.

  25. Another FABULOUS cat image!! You always have the BEST cat stamps, Kitty!!! This card has such a dramatic look with that closeup of the inscrutable cat faces and the neutral colors...centering on the deeper tones. Totally love how you put the cats on the tag. Such a creative design!!
    Thank you so much for playing along in the #2019CatLoversHop!!
