SAF 2015 thread nest and a CASE

This card is a CASE of Kim Makortoff's card as seen in this post on the STAMPlorations blog.
I was inpired by the stamped panel and the soft colours. Because I wanted to also make this card work for the SAF 2015 challenge, I browsed my PTI stamps and found this cute Cat's meow stamp set and coordinating dies that I had never used until now, and I knew this was going to work just perfecly. Love it when that happens.


and here is Kim's card:


Before adhering my cat to the card using foam tape, I wrapped thin embroidery thread around my fingers and placed in where I wanted. Because the thread was wrapped around a card instead of a spool, my thread nest is not as tidy as Lauren Bassen's, but I think it fits in nicely with the cat theme lol.

Inks used: Soft granite & Charcoal by Hero Arts, Autumn rose by Papertrey Ink

    What a cut kitty Marriane and that DP with is perfect with a cat image as is the sentiment.

    We have just booed next years holiday (early I know but it's the only way to get a good choice of cabin) and we are going to Crete one day, along with a few other Greek islands.

    I too love it when you find the perfect stamp or the just right sentiment. I have even been know to jump for joy what that happens, but I guess that makes us stampers to the core! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Cards in Envy this week for our Cute and Cuddly challenge. Who could deny this is anything but Cute and Cuddle. As always it's a pleasure to stop by. Take care.
