I used an embossing folder that I got with a Magazine to embossed the card and them distressed with ink. I printed and coloured the cat and cut with a Spellbinders die. I made the frame with the dies as well. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp die and stamp set. My buttons are two that I made myself with some resin and molds. As you can see I stuck to the sketch quite literally. Hop over to the blog to see what Arlene and Paula created. It is always such fun to see how people interpret a sketch.
I'm going to spend some time tomorrow stamping with my friends. It's been a couple of months since we all got together... so looking forward to catching up with everyone. I'm taking my new Penny Black stamps so hoping to get a few cards made.
Thanks for visiting. Feel free to leave me a comment... I appreciate them all...and now I've fixed my comments I look forward to hearing from you.
