Good Morning
and
Happy May!
Today is a good day as I am the Guest Designer at The Color Hues Challenge! So thrilled to be guesting again. You can see the card that got me a guestie spot here.
I had several ideas in my head for this color combo - beachy, floral, poolside, but I finally went with this cat in a basket of flowers.
I love this sweet cat die from Waffle Flower and I just thought a bright yellow cat sitting in a basket of blue flowers was perfect. Then, I decided to add a little bluebird friend as well. I kept my background pretty simple. I already had the blue watercolor panel of the same blue as the flowers so i die cut it from a scallop frame die. The flower blooms are some of my only stand alone flower dies and they are by Lil Inker Designs. They are no longer in business and I miss them. So I hope you enjoy my little feline.
I hope you will play along in the challenge this fortnight. Be sure and check out the Design Team's wonderful creations on the Color Hues blog. It's been one of my favorite challenges to play in as they come up with some great color combos.
Card Supplies:
Stamps: Sentiment - Where Flowers Bloom (MFT Stamps)
Paper: Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock; Kraft cardstock (Lawn Fawn); Watercolor paper (Stratford).
Ink: Icing on the Cake; Chiffon, Oh Boy (CP Inks)
Extras: Cat Die - Be A Cat (Waffle Flower); Flower dies (Lil Inker Designs); Tag center die - Stash; Basket die (Impression Obsession); Bird die - Snowman and Friends Die (Waffle Flower).
Our own Annabella celebrated her 8th birthday this week so it's fitting I made a cat card.
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you come back soon!

Your kitty is adorable and doesn't look 8 and your card is super cute as well. My favorite part is the bird snuggled in the basket. Thanks for being with us at Color Hues, it is a joy having you! Enjoy your weekend.
I'm so glad to have you guesting with us again, Nance! Your kitty and bluebird are adorable in the basket with their flowers! Bella is so pretty. She still looks like a kitten! See you soon.
Nance, your kitty and his blue bird friend are simply adorable, especially tucked into a basket filled with flowers. Fabulous take on the challenge colours - and so wonderful to have you as our Guest Designer.
