It's been a while since I've played with this fun set so I thought it needed an airing especially as I have the co-ordinating dies.
I was inspired by the colours and image of the rather grumpy cat at As You See It Challenge. I didn't have all their SU colours but did have Crumb Cake ink and cardstock and Calypso Coral. I used Distress Inks for the greens.
I started out by using my Gel press to mix and add the colours adding lots of water to give them a subtle look. I stamped the cat and coloured him in with the two SU colours. I added some stencilling to the background and also added some of the images of the milk bottle and fish bones which come with the set. I cut a few of them out also and added them to the card. I layered it onto black and then Crumb Cake card stock.
I was a bit stumped for the sentiment for this then found this great one in my stash. I hope it also makes you smile.
I'm adding this into the following challenges
As You See It #267 - Mood Board
A place to start - Critters
Stamping Sensations - anything with a tail
We love stamping - plus stencil
SUYP - AG cats

I'm glad we got a cat in our gallery, Fiona! This is a great background and your cat has a lot of character! Crumb Cake and Calypso Coral feature prominently in your design. I know you used greens, just having a harder time seeing them. Thanks for using our colour challenge palette at As You See It Challenges!
