Using up scraps and then embossing them is a great way to create a background. Your little cat is adorable. Thanks for joining us at MMM.
ReplyDeleteHello, Debi! I am so excited to see your card at the Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge! It's so cute with that adorable stocking kitty, and it will be purr-fect for SAS4K! Your background from scraps looks amazing, especially with the embossing! I recognize that kitty as Deedee's Digis - Stocking Pal Oscar as I was on her DT for awhile, many years ago. I have a big collection of her adorable digis and that one is sweet.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a wonderful weekend - we have sunshine and blue skies, but Hurricane Philippe is on its way for tomorrow. Hoping it won't be that bad but who knows. Stay safe and well, my friend.
You are right about it being a Deedee's Digi image. I fixed the post. Thanks for keeping me in line! Hugs, my friend!
DeleteDang, that's an awesome scrappy background! I love the look with the embossing, too - so festive! And of course, super cute kitty, lol. Thanks so much for playing at Make My Monday!

Wonderful card and challenge.
ReplyDeleteThis definitely looks so effective using all the strips behind the image which by the way looks wonderfully cute in its quilted stocking. The embossing of the strips looks amazing too! Clever!

What a fun card! Your kitty is so cute, but I really love the background panel you created!! Using up scraps and dry embossing... 2 of my faves!
ReplyDeleteGreat card, your background is brilliant. I must try that.
ReplyDeleteExcellent job of fussy cutting. This is very cute. Love the layout of the strips of card stock.
