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!

Such a sweet card! I love kitties too. Thanks for joining The Funkie Junkie Boutiques Challenge.
ReplyDeleteJust had to take a look and then comment after I saw it had a kitty!
ReplyDeleteI'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. ;)
