Welcome
Yes, some more cats - this time they are the stars of the card.
The card was made for a friend who dearly loves her cats.

The card I used for the background panel has a very fine speckle, and I am not sure if it was some that was inadvertently sprayed, or came like that. I don't recall ever having card like that in my stash, so think it may be the former!!

The cats were diecut from a snippet of black card, , and sat over the sentiment panel, which was popped up on some foam tape.

The stamp is from Hero Arts, and was silver embossed over a snippet cut from some 'mop up' card. The edges were also embossed. The front was finished with some silver faux stitching.

The inside was finished with a couple of foliage die cuts from Gummipan, cut from green snippets, to reflect the recipients interest in house plants.

Oh, I love cat cards. The silhouettes are elegant! You made a beautiful birthday card. I like the surprise you added on the inside! Fabulous.
How very lovely Maxine, love the cats on their own little place above the sentiment.
Maxine, this is perfect for any cat lover - or anyone else too actually! Love the little silhouettes and that speckled background.

What a lovely card Maxine - love the black cats - and the speckled background is almost a piece of art in itself. - very neat if it's a piece of scrap from spraying. Love the foliage you added too - I see that Gummiapan has got to you as well! Very nice choice too.

I was going to say what amazing splatters you achieved on that panel, but if you can't remember how they got there perhaps they were just a happy accident. I have such a lot of trouble with splatter that I always notice them. Lovely CAS card, silhouettes always work so well xx
Beautiful CAS, I love cats and these silhouettes look great on the sentiment!
What a fabulous CAS card Maxine! I love, love, love that background paper, it is perfectly speckled! Your cat dies sitting on the sentiment are too cute, perfect for a cat lover. Love the stitching going around too. Such a simple but so effect design! I am finding that I am falling in love with Gummiapan dies, haven't bought any but there are plenty on my wish list! LOL Hugs, Brenda
Such an awesome cas card. Well done. Many thanks for joining us at CUYL.

You have created a wonderful birthday card for a cat lover. The random pattern on your card looks like confetti to me, which makes it perfect for the birthday theme. I like how your CAS design makes the background shine without taking the attention from the centerpiece - the two cat silhouettes on the birthday banner. The silver details are a perfect touch for your card, and make the project look very festive. Thanks for joining the Alphabet challenge.
