Meowy and Bright

Hello, everybody!  Today I'm sharing another card I made with inspiration from Beccy's Place Month of Holiday Cards.  You will see the photo and link to Beccy's challenge on my right-hand sidebar all month so I hope you'll join the fun!  It's an alphabet challenge so I went with N for non-traditional colours.  

Again I've used a kitty from one of Beccy's newer digitals called Christmas Kitties.  This is my favorite kitty in the set as she reminds me of our Snowie.  I coloured her with markers to look like Snowie, and the ornament pink to match, and then fussy-cut.  My inky background was originally destined for another card but it didn't work out; it was in my "waiting to be used" box, made a long time ago with either Distress Inks or Distress Oxides, mostly likely with the ink-smooshing technique.  


My card design was inspired by Sweet Sketch Wednesday November Sketch 241 and I rotated it 2x clockwise.  I don't make square cards so I hope my A2 card is okay.


I die-cut the stitched oval (My Creative Time) from a white panel and then die-cut again with a stitched rectangle (Gina Marie Designs).  The pink die-cut corners (LaLa Land Crafts) were left over from a project from a long time ago, so I found a scrap of the same pink cardstock to die-cut the bow (Poppystamps):


I added pink gems to the corner elements according to the sketch, as well as a larger pink gem to the center of the bow.  To finish the card, I stamped a small sentiment (Simon Says Stamp) next to the cat.

I was also inspired by the following 8 challenges, for a total of 10:
Crafter's Cafe 291 Use Dies and/or Punches 1/5 C10
Pattie's Creations 200 AG 2/3
Snippets Playground 441 AG with Scraps/Snippets (as described - leftover inky background, leftover corners, pink scrap for bow die-cut) 1E C10
Word Art Wednesday 569-570 AG w Uplifting Sentiment 3/5 wk2

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

    You uploaded this in time for the race at Beccy's!!! I used up all my luck yesterday :) I love the filigree die cuts for the corners and the background paper is perfect, so soft and lovely. The kitty is so cute and the sentiment is perfect for it.

    Oh my - so cute! I love the sentiment to go with the adorable kitty. He (or she) is so obviously enthralled with that ornament :)

    I'm always amazed at how different an image can look when done in different colours... this is a great example Kitty. I absolutely LOVE how wonderful the kitty looks in such soft colours. And it's even better that you coloured her the same as one of your own fur babies. Love it!
    Cheers,
    Beccy

    Hi Kitty! Love this cute cat and the fact you coloured her as Snowie... You made a fabulous sweet design for her and love so much your own background. My "waiting to be used" box is actually three boxes and two folders! :D LOL. Love the gorgeous corners and the festive bow with the bauble! Great take of the sketch!
    Heartfelt hugs dear friend, wishing you too a peaceful day full of love and joy!

    Hi Kitty - don't know where my comment has disappeared to . . . but I did leave one!

    Love the layout and all the die cut elements. Thanks for coming to play in the Snippets Playground. After you've finished playing hopscotch, please come up to the Treehouse for a hot chocolate! x

    What an adorable card Kitty! And such a sweet tribute to lovely Snowie - I often look at her photo when I come here as she was such a pretty girl.They do say the price of love is heartbreak. But, where would we be if we didn't dare to love?
    Hugs, Di xx

    Hi, Kitty what a cute card. I love what you did by turning my sketch upside down and it worked perfectly with your image. This is such a cute card and I love the colours and embellishments you've used.
    Great card and thanks so much for sharing it with us over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and good luck.
    Hugs
