The current prompt at Time Out Challenges is "Happiness is a warm puppy." When I was growing up you saw this Peanuts meme on everything from tee shirts to coffee mugs.
I'm sorry Lucy, in my world happiness is a purring cat (or two).
To start, I blended Worn Lipstick, Wild Honey, and Salty Ocean Distress oxide inks onto a card front, stamped over it with the Bookshelves rubber cling stamp from Impression Obsession, and ran the edges along a black inkpad to ground the image. I used a CZ Design die set to cut the sentiment and shadow from Champagne foil and vellum paper. The shadow die has openings for the p's, b, and d which I sometimes find distracting on a busy background, so I saved the negative spaces and glued them in. The mama cat was cut with a die from Spellbinders and the kittens from a set by Obsession Impression.
This card is for my sister, a kindergarten teacher who is owned by a ginger cat. I plan to also enter this card the Die Cut Divas Birthday challenge. Thank you for stopping by! Until next time, Hansi
