With Father's Day approaching, I thought it was time to make a card for my husband from the cats. We currently have two cats, Catapult and Velcro. We lost our beloved Peevey 15 years ago, but I thought he needed to be part of the card. I wanted more masculine paper, so I pulled a very old My Mind's Eye paper pad--Adventure. The colors and patterns make for a great "manly" vibe. I then die cut the striped paper with a die from Newton's Nook Designs-Frame & Flags die set. I cut a small piece using the blue paper. I added a cream trim to separate the carpet and the wall. I then stamped the TV set from a beloved stamp set by Paper Smooches--Boob Tubes. I then did some masking and stamped the little kittens from Lawn Fawn's Happy Couple stamp set. I then stamped the kitty from Lawn Fawn's Keep on Swimming stamp set. I colored with Copic markers and did some fussy cutting. As I arranged things, I felt that the "room" was missing, so I pulled out Newton's Nook Designs Cozy Home stamp set. I stamped the little table and the vase, colored, and fussy cut. I arranged everything and adhered to the panel. I then cut the wood panel strip and added it to the card base before adding the panel. My final touch was stamping the sentiment from the Boob Tubes stamp set. I think this is going to make a wonderful Dad's Day card!
Thanks for stopping by!
Hugs,
Debbie

Aww, that is so sweet, love the little room scene you created! Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, what a CUTE card!!! I love it! I create Mother's Day & birthday cards from our cats to my mom (their grandma) as well. It's nice to know I'm not the only one. :) I like how the black cat is "watching" the other 2 cats in their own TV show. Again - just sooooo cute!

ReplyDeleteYour little kitty scene is soooo cute! I never would have thought that the tv wasn't just one stamp...your masking is flawless. I also love that you colored them after your own cats, both present and past. Thank you for joining us at the Double Trouble challenge.
