Being black, I find it incredibly difficult to colour a feline image to reflect my little chap so they don't always turn out so well but I can't bring myself to do it in a different colourway. My coloured image looks more like a bear but I am trying to fatten my boy up - I think we had a feline intruder in the house while we were away, eating my baby's dinner!
I used some DCWV papers from the Citrus stack and teamed them with a PTI die cut tag, a tiny Stamps Away sentiment, two ribbons and a Penny Black image. A Marianne corner and some pearls and a bow have also been added in an attempt to balance the black. His pants and his little kisses tags have been decoupaged for a little dimension but sadly I don't think that's very visible in my photo.

I'm entering my card into the following challenges:
Mojo Monday - fab sketch
Kaboodle Doodle - 117 add some dimension
Papertake Weekly - anything goes
Creative Inspirations - 161 animal antics
Bunny Zoe - 23 ribbon or twine

Ahahahah! This is too cute and looks just like your little fur ball!!! LOVE the button on the shorts!

Goodness! He does look a little worse for wear! lol Could very well be someone eating his foot that used to happen to us when we had a cat flap. SOmetimes I would come home and there would be a strange cat curled up on our lazy boy chair! Well your kitty has just got to learn to defend his food!! LOok at that attitude, it shouldn't be so hard. lol

ReplyDeleteOMG your adorable fur ball definitely has an attitude! I have heard the saying A dog is owned by his owners. A cat owns his owners! I dare say I bet this is definitely true in your case. LOL!
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet of you to send out a card. That fat cat stamp is adorable and so is your kitty.
