All You Need is Love & a Cat

and a cat. Or six.  I think this stamp is SO cut with the the kitty's glasses and bow tie! I've had it for a
while but {gulp} I actually forgot about it! I'm ashamed! So when I did recall I had him, I had to make it up to him! In order to do that, I put him on a card just in time for the Cat Lovers' Hop!   

 What I Used to Make my Card:
White Card Base
KasierCraft Pawfect Cat Collection, PK555 
Meow, Meow, Meow Stamp Set from Unity Stamps, #UK-926A
Watercolor Paper
Derwent  Inktense Pencils
Heart Punch
Red Glitter Paper
Darice Nested Craft Dies, Classic Circles, 2014-74
Ranger Archival Ink in Jet Black

 I started by stamping the kitty on water color paper, then coloring him in with Derwent Inktense Pencils.  I didn't like the heart in the language bubble, so I took a very. very old heart shaped punch and made a new heart out of red glitter paper.  I then stamped the sentiment onto white card and cut it out with circle dies.  I fussy cut {argh, I hate it - wish I could sent it all off to someone
who finds joy in fussy cutting!} the main image out and adhered that as well as the sentiment to the background paper.  Lastly, the background paper was glued to the card base, left overnight under my drying tile and we have a card!

    This is so stinkin' cute! Love that smart kitty and the glittery heart! Had to lol at fussy cutting. Occasionally, I find it relaxing, but usually I'm in too big of a hurry!

    I abhor fussy cutting, too!! lol.... (Do all those peeps who say they like it have any life at all??? Life is waaaaaaay TOO short to spend my time accidentally amputating toes and flower petals!!)

    I adore your cute card!! What a wonderful kitty with the glasses. Love the sparkly heart, too.

    Thank you so much for joining in the #CatLoversHop2017!
