My latest cat in my care though is going to give me problems in that I can see I won't want to give her up. She came to me last week after she had just had major surgery to amputate her front leg. We don't know her history or how she got the injury. She has no owner, not name - we have called her Lucky. She is such a cute little cat and, although very nervous which is hardly surprising, she and I are forming a close bond. How on earth can I give her away? I have two cats and two dogs already - I'm not sure how a Tripod Cat, which I found out is what they are called, would fit in with my brood. But for now she is in my care whilst I nurse her back to health, strength and life!
So my card today for another new challenge I've found had to be cats. The challenge is called Twofer Card challenge and going by the fact that their challenge is #4 I'm guessing they are quite a new challenge. What a great idea - take one stamp make two different cards! A great way to add cards to our ever growing pile of them! I'm also adding this into Daring Cardmakers - which are asking for Animal Antics
I've gone with Stampin Up's Pretty Kitty and, I think you could say, they are quite different.
The first one is all about the pinks - Melon Mambo, Powder Pink and a touch of Berry Burst. The Embossing folder is non SU which I picked up in a local craft shop yesterday for only £1.49!!! I love it! I've used the Hey sentiment from Jar of Love adn the other one is from Pretty Kitty. I've coloured it in with marker pens and used Wink of Stella and some rhinestones. Stitched Framelits were used for the sentiment.
The other card is all about the greens - my favourite Lemon Lime Twist to be precise. The background paper is non SU - I've used the Stitched Framelits again for the image and the sentiments. They say Thank You...My Friend - and are from a retired set called Mini Messages Two Step Stampin from 2004.
