This is my last project for the Cat Lovers Hop and I'm going to miss it. Hopefully, it will be back again next October and maybe you can come play if you didn't get in this year.
Those of you who have had kittens at or near the holiday season, or even some of our fully grown cats, will be familiar with how "helpful" those little fluff balls can be, especially when it comes to wrapping packages and tying (untying?) the ribbons.
These little sweethearts (found in a clip art file I downloaded a few years back) decided to decorate the front of a Christmas card.
Once I saw that Color Dare inspiration, I knew I could use my MS Word software to get the monochromatic green image. When I had that part done, I printed it, added some highlights with ProMarkers and white gel pen, then cut the image and the green CS mat with dies from Spellbinders. Those went onto a green card base and I added the 2 jute cord strings, tied into a square knot.
I found some old Christmas embellishments from K & Co., and added the holly leaves plus one tiny pine cone right next to the jute cord knot. There are tiny red gems for the berries on the holly leaves.

I knew I wanted to play in the Color Dare challenge
and was delighted to find it was a monochromatic challenge.

Love the sweet image and the monochrome, Connie! I have to close the door if I'm wrapping gifts or Goliath will park it right on the rolled out paper. Cute sentiment and I love the little holly accent. Purrfect for a Christmas card. xxD
My words that is definitely a challenge to use those colours. Great job you have done with them, cute image and fun sentiment. Thank you for joining our 'Gem and Pearls' challenge at Asllsorts.

Great take on the color challenge. Green isn't easy to use. My cats are very "helpful" when it comes to wrapping. Always in the boxes and papers.
Great card! Love the greens you used. Don't kitties always want to be helpful?! lol I have a small parrot (who does believe he's a kitty cat!) love to just chew up the paper, and even play fetch! Just doesn't give the little balls of paper we toss BACK to us. lol
this is so very nice card!
Lovely vintage style card, love the green! I'm busy playing catch-up and hopping in reverse ;0)

Thank you for joining us at the Color My Heart Color Dare. Our next challenge is posted...come check it out.
Would never have thought to use a stamp like that for a green color challenge but you nailed it. Thanks for the inspiration & for playing at Color Dare.
Such sweet kittens. I like the way you thought outside the square by printing with green ink and adding it to your card. Thanks for sharing with us at the Color My Heart Color Dare Monochromatic Green Challenge.
