Crouching Cat - Day 4 Cat Lovers Hop


     As I told you on Tuesday, I was invited by Janis to be one of the Guest Designers for the 2021 Cat Lovers Hop.  I jumped at the chance!  If you missed my first GDT post on Tuesday, click this link to get there.  

     I was lucky enough to get to use two adorable cat images from Ike's Art and this is the second of them, called "Crouching Cat."  For more information about the hop (and about the fun images from Ike's), check out the main Cat Lovers post here.

     This is Day 4 of the hop and it runs through this coming Saturday.  You can enter each day and there are tons of prizes from many sponsors plus daily games to play.  You'll meet lots of other cat lovers, all of whom are fun loving and more-or-less obsessed with all things feline.

     Today's card is another rather CAS design (amazing how a bit of dp and a bow can make something look fancy!) and a sweet image from Ike's Art called Crouching Cat.  When I was getting ready to color the image, my sweet little Queenie (see the sidebar for a photo of her attacking the printer) jumped up on the table to "supervise" the creative process and I decided then and there to make this adorable feline a calico!  Yes, she's has white legs and tummy just like Queenie so...

     I cut the image with a QuicKutz die, inked the edges, and layered it onto the background dp (DCWV).  I tied a bowtie bow from black satin ribbon, added it beside the image, and it was done!  Talk about quick and simple.  :-D


     Challenges:

     Don't forget that you have until Saturday to enter your own feline creations into this year's Hop.  We're having so much fun and there are fantastic prizes to be won from more than three dozen sponsors.  Come join us before time runs out!  
     Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie

Very cute calico kitty. I love the pounce sentiment. My apologies if I make two comments. The robot is for some reason making me click on it every time. It started yesterday. [Bunny]
