How fortuitous! I just put this on my blog for our twice monthly Divine Diva Inspiration Challenge (DDIC) and checked today's challenge. I love it when it works out like this.
For the DDIC challenge, we used a living room pic for our inspiration. I picked up on the cool colors and layout of the room.
I stamped the cat on the couch on watercolor paper and colored it with markers and a blender. To make it look more like a room, I drew the floor lamp and added a shade. The pictures are Spellbinders squares and label 13. I added a little embossed piece inside the frame on that one.
I used a cuttlebug border folder down the sides of a piece of white card stock, stamped the leafy vine and sponged a little pale neptune ink on. Added a couple of layers and some bling for jewelry and onto a white 5.5 x 4.25 (A2) card. The sentiment was cut with a resized Nestie tag die.
Thanks so much for looking! C My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.

This is a grand card. The saying and the kitty's pose are soooo appropriate! We have cats and they do think they are a step above mankind...lol.. most of the time.

Ok, WOW! This is an awesome card! I don't even love cats and I love this card! The texture and colors are great. Every detail supports the "diva" feeling of this card, from the bling to the purple, to the precise cutting, to the look on that sweet cat's face. Great card! Thanks for sharing it. Blessings, Lela
