While I was fur-baby sitting three additional cats last week, my sweet SIL sent me photos of the most precious calico cat which had apparently been abandoned when a family moved away. She's friendly, healthy, and my SIL has been feeding her on the back patio. She was hoping that I'd adopt the little calico girl but I'm still debating. In honor of the possible new feline, I did this card, using an image from Ike's World. Aren't they precious? Clearly best friends. :-D
These are the easy kind of calico cats - no feeding and no litter box! lol
I started with the colors from My Favorite Things.
I colored with ProMarkers, then cut the image with a die from Spellbinders. I found two scraps of dp on the desk and cut them with the same die, then offset them behind the image. I wrapped a strip of satin ribbon around a bit of lace, making it into a bow, and added that. A really quick and easy design but one which looks much more complex and time consuming because of the frilly die cuts and the fancy lace bow.
Challenges:
For those of you who get a day off for Easter Monday, enjoy the long weekend and take a deep, refreshing breath of that spring air. Happy Crafting. NanaConnie

How cute your calico kitties are, Connie! And great idea putting the pink die cut upward and the coordinating blue one below. It's a darling card. Speaking of Calico Cat - that is the store where I discovered stamping back in 1989. They had a tiny corner filled with gold EP, Milwaukee heat tools, PSX floral stamps, and Tombow markers. I was hooked! So your kitties brought up great memories for me! hugs, de
I love your fun and pretty card Connie - and BY ALL MEANS - ADOPT that little calico cat. He/she needs a special mom and I know you're special. Don't even think twice about it - and I can't wait to see a picture.
