Cat Lovers Hop 2021 - Day 4 (Paw-tumn Newton)

Hello, everyone!  Today is Day 4 of the Annual Cat Lovers Hop!  This is the seventh year of this fun event, and I would like to thank Janis at Her Peaceful Garden for hosting and organizing it again this year.  For us cat lovers, it's something to look forward to each year!  

My fourth card features stamps from Newton's Nook, one of the generous sponsors of the hop who has done so for all seven years - thank you!  

I made this card for my Dad, who hasn't been feeling well lately.  I stamped the images (some of them twice) from Newton's Nook Paw-tumn Newton and then coloured and fussy-cut.  The sentiment is from Newton's Nook Whispering Pines, which I stamped in brown and fussy-cut.  Dies used:  Gina Marie Designs Stitched Rectangles, Lawn Fawn Stitched Scalloped Border.  Patterned Paper:  Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid Fall.


 I was inspired by Newton's Nook Inky Paws Challenge 160, whose theme is Cozy Plaid.

My card design was inspired by Sketch 683 at Sketch Saturday, which I turned upside down.
