Seize the Birthday # 326


Hello from North Carolina, my Crafty Friends! After five months of planning, remodeling, packing, etc, etc, etc we are finally here.  I still have a few challenge cards to share before I go on a temporary leave.  It's going to take some time getting this house (and my craft room) up and ready.  

Nancy S. is our host this fortnight and she's chosen Focal Animal as her Topping.  I pulled out a really old die from PaperTrey Ink for my simple card.





The kitty was die cut in pink, white and designer textured black cardstocks.  I added three narrow strips of the black to ground the kitty, added a few flowers and a stamped sentiment.  The card base is watercolor paper.  

Supplies:
PaperTrey Ink - Kay's Cat die set
MFT - Housecats stamp set

I invite you to join us on our blog and in the gallery.  Animals are optional however birthday greetings are not.

Thanks for visiting!

Jules
