Retro Kittens and Butterfly

Hi, everyone!  Today I am sharing a card featuring cute retro kittens with a butterfly.  I was inspired by several challenges, including Mrs. A's Butterfly Challenge 168 (see details below).  The sweet kittens clipart is from The Digital Chick on etsy.

My card design was inspired by Sweet Sketch Wednesday Sketch 224:

I used lots of snippets/scraps so I'll be joining Snippets Playground 425.  As a matter of fact, all of the cardstock and patterned papers used on this card were from my scraps bin, so it feels great to use them!

Here's the information on Mrs. A's Butterfly Challenge 168 that I mentioned above.  The letter is L is Latch Fold, but I was not brave enough to try it.  I went with Option 1, which is any two colours plus a butterfly.  My colours are Lettuce and Light Pink.



In addition to the 3 challenges mentioned above, I was also inspired by the following 7 challenges, for a total of 10:
Allsorts 670 Any Real Animal 1/3
DL.ART April Linky AG UE
Show Us Your Pussycats 76 Furrything Goes w Cats UE
Simon Says Stamp Monday Easter/Spring 1/5
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday AG 1/5
Word Art Wednesday 537-538 AG with Uplifting Sentiment 1/5 wk1

Thank you for looking at my card!  Wishing you a peaceful and carefree day!

    Oh Kitty, this is adorable!!! How sweet and cute kittens peeking out from the envelope! Love so much the sketch you used, great interpretation with the light pink stripes and the vibrant polka dots patterned paper! The circular frames and the lovely double butterfly make the card also more precious! Very well done!
    I will mail you as soon as I can, sorry if I'm late. Writing in English isn't my cup of tea LOL and I need some free time to put all my thoughts together.
    Sending you lot of hugs, love and hope of peace dear friend!
