All Nine Lives With You

 

SPECIAL NOTE:  Many thanks to those of you who have dusted off your dragonfly supplies and joined in the brand-new Paper Dragonfly Creative Challenges that I recently mentioned.  See my winter-themed dragonfly card HERE.  Several of you have made a card and linked up already.  So happy to see people jumping in to support this new challenge blog that is all about dragonflies.  ❤❤❤

Hi, Friends......

I am here with a kitty valentine card I'm going to give to my hubby.  Awwww.....  💑😻  To make it seem masculine, I used dark tones, navy and taupe.

I followed the sketch over at the MFT Sketch Challenge #577.



I  am also entering this card in the Lost Coast Designs Challenge - Man Cave with a Masculine theme.


I opened up two fabulous stamps that I had never used before for this challenge: Lost Coast Designs - Star Cat plus a couple of the stamps from the Lost Coast Designs - ATC Lattice Set for background stamping.  The sentiment is from a new set, too: The Project Bin - Feline Good stamp and die set.  Don't you love it??  

I used a piece of cardstock in my scrap bag that looked like it had been the backing from a gummed notepad. I tore the edges of the panels and even managed to tear out a little heart shape that is somewhat recognizable as a heart!!  ❤  My navy blue background is one I had on hand that I had previously splattered with some leftover gesso that I was loathe to just throw out.  :) 


Supplies used include (most of these I already mentioned):
Lost Coast Designs - Star Cat stamp
The Project Bin - Feline Good stamp
Versafine Ink in Majestic Blue
Clear embossing powder
Lost Coast Designs - ATC Lattice Set
Distress Inks
Winnie & Walter - Essentials: Katharine Cutaways die set - retired

Hope you enjoyed my card.  I can post this early since my hubby doesn't visit my blog.  lol...  Thank you so much for stopping by today.  Have a wonderful weekend!

  16. Just had to take a look and then comment after I saw it had a kitty!
    I'm definitely a CatMom and my hearing pup loves "her" kitty! At first, I thought your kitty was made with calico print but on closer inspection, the stars are perfectly out of this world- like most cats, lol. The sentiment is adorbs!
    PS: Love the joke- so true with doors in the house!!! But, for Chase Kitty's sake, we do live. ;)

  21. Oh my, this is wonderful Janis. Love the brown and navy. The background looks sort of galactic so perfectly suits a star cat and I love the stamped and rippage pieces. Fab sentiment too. Thanks for joining the fun at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity. Hugz
