My card today is for the first of the non-alphabet themes for the 30 Days of Holidays at Beccy's Place. Beccy chose a theme of "Complimentary Colors" which are colors that are across the color wheel from each other. I chose blue and orange for this Thanksgiving card.
I decided it was time for a gate fold card, and I actually started with a pre-colored image from Beccy's Place. Because I wanted to emphasize the orange, I grabbed a ProMarker and made the yellow parts of the calico fur orange. Those patches were also brighter and more defined once I colored them.
The image was cut with a CUTplorations stitched die and I matted it with a scrap of bright orange CS. Then I found a scrap of paper which was water colored (the blue) and another scrap from Taylor Made (leaves.) The sentiment is my own and I cut it with an Avery Elle die.
Happy Crafting. NanaConnie

Heh heh... love the sentiment NanaConnie! The blue and orange are a wonderful combination, and particularly good for autumn. Love your papers!

I have to Laugh, Connie! The cat reminds me of a cat my daughter had. Multi colored and a personality. Thank you for sharing your Purr-fect card with us at Jan's Digi Blog Challenge. Good Luck and Happy Crafting!
