PP529 Cool Cat

 Hey everyone!  Happy Sunday!  I am the Paper Players hostess today and it's time for a Clean and Simple challenge:

We all love our pets but sometimes I think the kitties get left out!  My little Pumpkin was our family pet for 18 long years; she's gone now but we still remember her fondly!  So here we go with my clean-and-simple creation this week, using my much-neglected Pampered Pets:


I used the colors from the CAS Colours & Sketches challenge for this week:

I stamped this smug little kitty on some Thick Whisper White cardstock with Stazon Black ink and watercolored her in with Flirty Flamingo and Gray Granite inks, then used the Pets die to cut her out:



I mounted her on a Stitched Shape circle of Misty Moonlight and added a Flirty Flamingo scallop along with some FF hearts!  The sentiment came from the Sweet Ice Cream set.  Here's the inside, using a sentiment from Pampered Pets:


I am also entering this in Global Design Project's Animal Challenge, as well as the Krafty Chicks CAS Challenge:!


And here's an old picture of my favorite kitty, sleeping in our bathroom sink, LOL!



Thanks so much for popping in today...enjoy it and be blessed!

LeAnne, I love the design of your card and colors. I HAVE to play in your challenge! Oh my gosh, our cat Butterscotch used to do that!

Adorable card, and precious little cat!
I agree with you about the cats getting left out - I may have to play along! Just happen to have my cat sets out for another reason - wink!

Happy Sunday, LeAnne! That cutie in the sink looks very comfy! How adorable and your card is perfection. Love it! What a great theme.

An adorable card, LeAnne! Your coloring is perfect! Such a fun layout! And speaking of fun, I LOVE the cat photo! It brought back memories of my favorite kitty, Sara Tucker! Thank you for the awesome challenge this week!

Love the smile on that cat's face!

Such a sweet card LeAnne - and I know what you mean! Dogs are so good at grabbing our attention and needing us to take care of them, but cats are proper characters in their own way. I miss Tuppence too. The photo of your cat is priceless! Vicky x

Two sweet kitties, LeAnne! Love the expression of the stamped kitty and the resting place of the other! Who would have thought?

JulieP said...

Awww! Such a sweet kitty...both on your card and in your sink. We have both dogs and a cat and she's definitely the princess. Love your design. Thanks so much for playing along with us at the CC&S challenge blog!

What a fun CAS card with that cute little kittie image! I've never seen a cat curl up in a sink to sleep but that's a fun photo to remind you of her!

You did a wonderful job colouring that kitty, I thought it was a DSP cut out. And your purr friend in the sink is adorable!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful card with us at Krafty Chicks Challenge.

LeAnne!!! I love this card. I miss seeing Pumpkin at your house. The saddest part of loving a pet is that they don't live forever. I'm totally CASE-ing this card!!! ;o) Thanks for the inspiration.

Amanda Mertz said...

That cat stamp makes me smile every time I see it! What a content and happy images. Love the fun colors too. We had a cat that used to love to curl up in the sink too! Thanks for a fun challenge! Have a great week!

I love your card and the adorable photograph of your kitty in the sink. I have 3 cats and they are so much fun.

I think your challenge pun was so ingenious and your kitty card is adorable! Looks great against that polka-dotted circle. Your kitty looks like he was a sweetie for sure! I don't often make kitty cards and I enjoyed this challenge very much! Have a great week!

If that isn't the cat that got the cream lol! Love the use of the CC&S challenge colours too. This was a fun challenge this week!

LeAnne, this is such a cute card. Your watercoloring is perfect. Love those little heart accents. They bring your Flirty Flamingo to the top. He does look very smug but well rested!!

Your stamped kitty looks so pleased with herself! You did a nice job water coloring her. Your kitty looks so cute sleeping in the sink. I am sorry she i no longer with you. One of mine likes to sleep in the sink when it is hot.
