Paper smooches Sparks challenge 28th jan-3rd feb

it has been a while since i entered a paper smooches sparks challenge. i think the last time was when it was just one challenge not different things each week...that WAS a while ago! but between juggling the kids and getting a bunch of work with practical publishing putting work in magazines like Australian simply cards and Australian paper craft essentials i have been quite the busy bee! not to mention doing my usual posts for the Fiskars blog.

So anyways, this challenge was Picture Perfect.

And here is the pic......

I was stumped  for a little while then i cracked open the new nine lives set from paper smooches. i brought this set cause....well i buy anything with cats on it!

but i had not had the chance to use it yet!
so after a bit of thinking i came up with this card......

To create this card i embossed with white embossing powder the little fish skeletons from the nine lives stamp set on the orange card.
Then i stamped the cat onto some patterned paper ( echo park-a walk in the park paper set) cut him out and added bobble eyes and used a white marker to make his teeth stick out.
This little cat stamp just reminds me so much of my cat Loki!
then using My favorite things jumbo fishtail banner staz dienamics i cut out a grey and white banner, adhered them together then stamped my sentiment and added the cat.
i used 3D foam dots to adhere this all to my card!

I really like how this has turned out. i was not sure of the colours at first but i will be totally using this color combo again!!!
