Welcome Kitty

My supervisor at work just adopted a young cat from the local RSPCA shelter and since my cats have a zillion toys that they've never used I thought I'd give some to her [well the kitty really] as a little present. And you can't give a present without a card, right?

So here we are:



I love the colours and the theme for this month's Embellish Magazine challenge - Quirky, Cutesy, Clean Style, so I just had to use them for this cutesy card. I used brown as my additional neutral colour, as when I printed the sentiment and kitty in black it just looked far too stark against the softish pastels of the rest of the card.

I had to print the sentiment out in Word as for some strange reason nobody's made a 'Welcome Kitty' stamp yet (can you believe it?) and the kitty is a gorgeous digital stamp from Softpencil. This one to be exact. I cut him out and popped him up on some foam dots. The way he's positioned is kind of like he's popping up to say hello! Very cute :)
