Today I'm sharing a Designer's Inspiration card with you over at MHK Designs and it's a card which pleases me greatly because I managed to use a really cute, non-holiday image (Cat to be Kitten Me) and turned it into a fun Thanksgiving card.
I colored that sweet feline with ProMarkers, cut it with a Spellbinders die, and used houndstooth paper from the Autumnal Accents set in the background. Then I added die cut leaves (Die-namites) in offset layers and tied one of my latest bowtie bows for embellishment. Although the set comes with several sentiments, the one I made up with Thanksgiving in mind just seemed to fit perfectly with the expression on his face. :-D
Don't forget the September/October challenge is open and we have a wonderful inspiration photo for our theme. However, if you use an image from MHK Designs, then the theme is "Anything Goes" whether or not you take inspiration from the photo. Click on the "Current Challenge" tab at the top of the main MHK Designs page to go to the challenge and to see the inspiration photo.

I was totally inspired by the autumn feel of the photo at Catch the Bug.
