Big Cat Christmas

Hello Nomad friends.  Time is flying but you still have a couple of days to join lots of challenges.  The Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge is still open and there are lots of amazing sponsors.  The Lost Coast Portal to Creativity also has a Cat Challenge, but don't forget to include real stamping on your catty anything.  I made a cute little Christmas card using a Hunkydory topper and an embossed snowflake background. 

I embossed the snowflakes on some black ribbed paper and smeared with blue distress oxide ink.  I mounted it askew on a yellow card base and smeared the exposed corners with the same blue ink.  Add the topper and sentiment and done.

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

    I love the cat's face and the blue DOX on the black paper looks great. I always enjoy seeing a card slightly catty-wampus. Very cute. [Bunny]

    Such a sweet little spotted kitty! I like how you added the distress oxide to your embossing, such a lovely detail! I also like how you offset the snowflake panel and added more ink around the edges! I hope you've been enjoying the Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge! It's been fun hopping around to visit all of the kitty cards! Wishing you a wonderful day!
