Crazy Cat Birthday Card

Hello!  We were part of that big spring snowstorm yesterday.  I haven’t seen the official reports, but I am thinking we got close to a foot of snow.  It is a very pretty scene out there!  A very odd March!

Today I have a card to share with this crazy cat!  I really like that I can color these in any color I wish!  I found this one already stamped on bristol paper, and I was unsure what ink I had used, so I colored it with pencils.


The background is blue distress oxide ink stamped over a lavender cardstock. I did spritz the stamp with water to get a distressed look.  I plan on giving this to a man, so I wanted to some masculine details.

I added sentiments from a Power Poppy set that I think go along with it!  And I even made an inside panel.  I would love to enter this in the Cards In Envy No Patterned Paper Challenge.


Supplies: Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Crazy Cats stamp set, Power Poppy Short Stacks stamp set, Hero Arts Tweed background stamp, Versafine Onyx Black ink, Distress Oxide broken China ink,  Prismacolor pencils, other items from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by today!  I appreciate your time and comments!

You can find me on facebook or pinterest, too.

Purple makes anything better - even a cat! Great coloring and a fun idea for a masculine birthday card too!

What a darling card! I love your background and how you placed the milk beside the cat. That sentiment couldn't be any more perfect. The recipient will surely love this.
