This is my card for SC629. I liked the design when others did it but I'm not sure I like it when I did it. My basic idea was to create a white card with some black and red elements -- black cats, red hearts... and it would work somehow.
The inch-square cats were too black, even with the hearts. So, to counter that, I took red paper and made the curve. (Initially that was going to be red baker's twine.) But it was to red, so I stencilled on the white hearts (and then embossed them with white). That would have worked better but the stencil is very regular patterned. I think if I had remember the punch with a more random layout of hearts, that would have been better.
Once I got that done, the front of the card still was blah, so I embossed cat paw prints on it, and then added (by hand) the thin line (frame) around the cats and along the curve.
At which point I was out of things to try, so I stopped.
