I'm really excited about today's card ! The image (a grayscale, digital coloring book page, reduced in size) of this curious cat peeking over the fence into the neighbor's yard reminds me so much of my sweet Cleo (who passed over the Rainbow Bridge in 2015.) She was one of my favorite feline fur babies ever. She was primarily a house cat but on those few occasions when she begged to go outside, she had such a curiosity about everything around her. However, she was still a bit fearful of anything other than her own yard. She wasn't a cat to wander about, much preferring the security of her own fenced back yard. But she did love to climb the fence for a peep out into the world beyond, even when that "world" was only the neighbor's yard next door.
So, this card celebrates the best of her curiosity and brings warm memories of her flooding into my mind. The image was colored with water colors, then cut with a Tonic Studios die. The green CS in the background was dry embossed with my 'Linen' embossing folder. The squares of dp are from Your Next Stamp and they were scraps left in the basket from another project. I cut them with a Spellbinders die. They perfectly fit this color combo.
The sentiment was printed and cut with a die from Avery Elle. I inked the edges of both the sentiment and the image before layering them onto the background. For a tiny bit of embellishment, I added the three gems in the upper corner and called it finished.
