Crazy Cat Lady

Good morning!  Happy Sunday to you!  Hope you've had a nice, relaxing weekend!  The weather has been beautiful here - so warm and sunny!  Love that!  Before I head out for the day, I wanted to pop in and share a a card I made for the current challenge on Guylou's Inimitability Blog - Crazy Cat Lady Color Challenge.  The colors are brown, cream and light blue, inspired by DT member, Gina's Seal Point Siamese cats.

Here is the photo of Gina's beautiful cats:


Here is my card for the challenge:


I started with a card base of SU Chocolate Chip and layered with patterned papers from the SU Parisian Breeze DSP pack.  My image is Cat on the Fence from Guylou's Inimitability.  Guylou generously offered it as a freebie the first day of the challenge.  It is now available for purchase in the GI online store.  I printed it on Cryogen White and colored it with my Copics.  A Baja Breeze striped bow and a few felt flowers with pearl centers finished off my card.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful day and see you soon!

  20. Carla, this is absolutely gorgeous. I am not the biggest cat person, but my favourite cats have always been the Siamese for some reason. I think because they are cool looking and they have those haunting blue eyes. Beautiful colouring and beautiful papers :)S
