Now that you've read all that... here's my card!



I've used:
Birthday Banners Stamp & Die Set by Hampton Art Stamps
Mini Meows by MFT
Patterned paper colored by Joy Nixon as my color inspiration
Distress Spray Stain (for the confetti) in Cracked Pistachio & Saltwater Taffy



I took full inspiration from my sister for this card- she loves cats & colors amazing designer papers like this one!  It was my first attempt actually coloring with the Distress Watercolor Pencils, and I've got a bit of learning to do... probably not using the best paper choices, but since half of my studio is packed up at the moment I will adjust and use what I have!  

I don't feel like this is my best work, but it's fun & cheerful and will be a perfect birthday card for any cat loving friend!

I've got another card that is more in my comfort zone that I'll share soon... so please keep checking back!  

I hope you loved the hop & found a ton of birthday inspiration!  If you started here instead of the beginning, hop on back over to the SNS Blog and they'll get you started to see what the rest of the team made!

Inky hugs,
Tara
