For my card, I was inspired to make a welcome fur baby card!

I have to start by saying I love this sketch!  I have so much amazing pattern paper, and this sketch is perfect to mix and match it for a delightful card.  I also have lots of stencils that need to be dusted off, and I found them quite useful for this card and for upcoming cards!

I started this card by adding Distress Oxide ink using the Meow stencil. I knew I would be using papers from the  A Cat's Life paper pad, so I knew my color scheme would be dark teal, orange, lime green. Thus, I used orange for my distressing. I then cut out the papers from the afore mentioned paper pad, and I added a teal border around the speech bubble paper and the plaid. I felt this make the papers pop vs. blending into each other. I then added the banner using the Banner Trio die set. I used the dog-earred rectangle die from the Basic Frames die set with the green dotted papers.  This provided a bright backdrop for the kitten and her toys. This sweet fur baby is from the Welcome New Cat stamp set. I cut her out using my Scan 'n' Cut, but a coordinating die set is available.  I then stamped the sentiment in black.  Such a darling way to celebrate the addition of new feline fur baby!

Now what will you create?  I can't wait to see!
