I've been waiting to make my DT entry for this week's PaperPlay Challenges all week. Elisa set the challenge, it's called "Furry Friends" - make something dedicated to our friends that bark, squeak, meow, roar, moo or neigh.
I knew I was going to make a baby card, and I knew I would be using a PB cat stamp, but the parents of the baby (who was born on New Year's Day), have not given her a name yet. So far, in the fortnight since she was born, she has been temporarily called Sammie, Maisie, Tara and Chloe, and now .... who knows? So yesterday afternoon, I gave up waiting, made the card and used temporary adhesive on the nameplate!!!!
.

I've used a sketch from this week's Totally Gorjuss challenge, and am also entering it on Simon Says Stamp, whose challenge this week is "Shabby Chic" - ooh I love to distress!!! - and SFTW (just in time) and Fussy and Fancy Friday (even more just in time), who both wanted projects with the theme of "new". Baby!
.
Here's a wee side view of the card.
.

Papers: BG Sugared
Stamp: Penny Black Cat & Moon (I think that's what it's called)
Colouring Medium: Prismas
Other: Nesties, Ribbon from Stash, needle and thread, Stardust stickles

Thanks for looking!!
