Cats, Banners and a Birthday

Welcome

I have been really enjoying the the Tim Holtz Crazy Cats over the past few months, and this is another of those cards :-)


I started with some paper from my "promise basket" (I promise I will use it one day) and hand cut the banners from scraps /snipetts, sponging the edges with Memento Danube Blue ink.


I stamped, trimmed, sponged and mounted the sentiment over the banners on some foam. 



This fellow was coloured with chalks, in a similar colour to my cat


especially the brown/gold eyes, which were emphasised with Glossy Accents


I stamped another cat image on the inside in London Fog ink, and gave him green shiny eyes.

    Maxine - your cat card is so cute. Great coloring and the term "Promise Basket" is a cute term. I may have to adopt that one. LOL Thanks for joining us at the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenges for our latest challenge.  {Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenges}Good luck and join us again soon. Hugs, Barbara
