Hi! This card was made for today's Color Combination Challenge: Basic Black, Rose Red and Always Artichoke.
You know, Speedy the Cat is NOT the only 4 footed family member in my home. There are MANY more. Our oldest pet is VERY old. His name is Boy Cat. Yep...It used to be Oreo. Until Markie started to talk...(Yes, we had a litter mate of his, who used to be Double Stuff, but was renamed Girl Cat.) Boy Cat is our MAIL cat. If mail is brought into the house and NOT opened, he will fang it to death! SERIOUSLY! I had a very embarassing experience explaining this phenomenon with our insurance agent. "Hello?" "Ms. Hofrichter?" "Yes..." "I am holding your Life Insurance amendment that you sent in." "Oh! My Cat ATE IT!" "Okie dokie, then! I'll just file it! Have an nice day!"
The image was stamped on watercolor paper and colored in with SU! markers. I used an aqua painter to blend the colors. Then, I cut it out and adhered it to the background with Foam Dots.

Very cute card, Faith! I love your story. The "my cat ate it" always sounded like a tall tale to me until I got my newest cats, now I totally believe it! Boo, the baby, chews on anything paper and Babs, the Mom, chews on cello bags. Go figure!
