Another Kitty Card for the Holidays

Hello, everyone!  I'm still feeling inspired by all of the amazing kitty cards I saw at the Cat Lovers Hop all week, so today I'm sharing a card that uses the off-cut from this card.  

You may remember that I created the ombre background for this card to die-cut the STAMPlorations Holiday Words Plate. I ink-blended Distress Oxides (Candied Apple, Festive Berries, Spun Sugar) and spritzed with water.  That left the remaining ink-blended background, and I did not want to waste it.  I die-cut the STAMPlorations Holiday Words Plate again in white and also in craft foam.  I adhered the white die-cut on the craft foam and then paper-pieced the die-cut and all of the little ink-blended pieces - yes, it took me a while - back into the leftover ink-blended background.  It was like putting together a little puzzle.

The kitty on this card is from STAMPlorations Purrfectly Pawsome, which I stamped, coloured with markers, and fussy-cut.  The dymo-like sentiment is also STAMPlorations, from their Big Holiday Hexagons set.  I stamped the two words in black and then fussy-cut, filling in the space between the two words with a black marker.  I like how this card turned out!
