Day 5 of the Cat Lovers hop and I have to share with you what happens when one of the fur-babies needs a cuddle and I'm busy doing something. I get this kind of stare - usually from the desk or craft table closest to where I am.
If I don't respond within an appropriate amount of time (their calculation as to how much time, not mine) I get a paw on my shoulder or arm. If that doesn't get the desired response from me, then they move closer and I get cat whiskers on my cheek and breathing in my ear, accompanied by a few judiciously rendered yowls of disapproval at being ignored!
I colored with pencils and ProMarkers, then cut the image with plain, square die from Spellbinders. Both the green paper and the black CS were scraps from my stash and I mounted everything onto a kraft card base. I added one strand of green jute cord and called it finished. I really wanted that cat stare to be the focus of the card.
Challenges:
Ike's World
LeAnn's World 101
Lemon Shortbread

That's the last for today but I may have a double post again tomorrow. It will depend on what I get done this afternoon. I've had one ready for a few days now that will get posted and we'll have to wait to see if the other one also is ready. Until then, Happy Crafting. NanaConnie

Really fabulous design, Connie. I know that stare well! It's usually followed but a nip somewhere, either leg or elbow depending on the proximity. The kitty is gorgeous! xxD
Love how that gorgeous kitty face is the star of this card.
Gorgeous face!
Love the green paper and twine!
Great colouring, it really makes the cat's eyes pop. Beautiful design, so realistic!
A beautiful image with stunning colouring, Connie! I especially love how you coloured the cat's eyes and nose! Beautiful! x
That image is amazing, Connie, and your coloring is fabulous! Laughing at the communication skills your fur babies have. I know THE STARE well. I love your pretty creation, which really should be framed and displayed! Hugs, de
Yup. I know that look. It is usually accompanied by head butts or paw pats. Beautiful card and image. Hugs, Teresa
Oooh, I love those big green eyes! My kitties used to follow up the stare with a swift swat at whatever I had in front of me. How dare something else take away my attention!
Hahahaha!! Your description is spot on!! I love how your green paper brings out the green of his eyes!!
So amazing - gorgeous colouring. LoL Yes - can you imagine me getting this from at least 12 kitties all at once ? LoL

This is really nice! I love how you did the eyes - so stunning and captivating! Beautiful card!
So very nice card!
This is gorgeous! The eyes are really beautiful! Your kitties sound like my dogs, except they cry, howl and paw at me for attention! But you gotta love them!
LOL, aren't they just so clever, knowing exactly what to do by pushing the envelope to get the desired outcome! Cats are just so 'intuitive', they know the right buttons to push! As I was readying, I was 'seeing' the whole scenario Love your gorgeous card!
Im so enjoying all your lovely makes.
Awesome card design! Wow, your coloring is amazing!
