Hi! This card was made for today's Sketch Challenge.
My grandmother called me from her farm in Maryland last evening. She's 83 and still works her farm. She's an amazing woman. But, the really great thing, is that her farm was were I spent most of my summers as a child. We didn't have pets when I was young. My sister was VERY allergic, so the closest thing I came to as pets were fish...Not very easy to get to know a fish...So, going to Grandma's farm was a treat! She had barn cats that were semi wild, but every year there were new kittens to chase and love.
So, this morning, when I saw that Speedy the Cat had been playing with this stamp set last evening, I HAD to use it!
The images were colored with markers.
The red background was run through the Cuttlebug Embossing folder. I also embossed the bottom half of the center circle to simulate grass.
The Creamy Caramel layer was crumpled and smoothed out. I then rubbed a Creamy Caramel pad over it.
