I'm here with a card to share that I didn't start out to make. It was one of those that happened when two pieces in my coral scrap bag got too close to each other. In my rummaging, I spied this perky gingham pattern behind a couple of off-kilter star diecut negatives. I thought to myself, "It's different.....but I LIKE it!" :)
But what to add to it after the marriage of the two scraps???? Cats, of course! So the card took shape and came into being. I think placing the cats in front of the stars helps them look not quite so off-balance....at least I hope so! When I cut those stars, I obviously was not planning on making a card from the negative!!!
 |
| I almost always cut my card panels so a border of my card base shows, but I didn't want to cut any more off these stars than necessary. So I used a different stitched rectangle die than usual. |
Supplies used include:
Lawn Fawn - Large Stitched Rectangles die set
X-Cut - A5 Mixed Cats die set
Winnie & Walter - True Multifaceted Star Cutaways die set
Newton's Nook Designs - Newton's Sick Day stamp set
Clear Dollar Stamps - Elegant Accents Tag Frames (discontinued)
Versafine ink in Habanero
Scraps from stash
Hope you like my kitty card. I think it turned out really cute. Hope you USA friends had a safe and relaxing 4th of July. Thank you for stopping by today.
