I haven't sent a card to my Dad in a few weeks. I like sending him cat cards. He has two adorable skamps Digger and Jack. And those cats dote on my Dad. When I visit, I am definitely the interloper and the cats will accept cat treats from me, and enjoy play time...but their cuddles are reserved for my Dad.
Newton's Nook has some adorable cat stamps, I have a couple of sets. They also have a challenge going right now - Inky Paws - Just One Layer Card. I had to think of my design on this one.
I drew a flag banner onto my kraft card base with a white gel pen. I stamped the cuddled napping cats, masked them off and then added paw prints in Simon Says Ink white pigment ink to the banner area. I used colored pencils from Artist's Loft to color the kitties, smoothed it with some gamsol and highlighted the ears and noses with pink wink of stella. I added the sentiment from another Newton's Nook set Basket of Wishes.
Both the challenge icon and the link above will take you to this challenge post at Newton's Nook.
Thanks for stopping by!

Oh my goodness, Cat--your Dad will love this darling card! What a fabulous design & coloring!
Great job on the one layer! That drawn flag banner is a great accent!
Awww! That is super cute! I love how you colored them with little white paws! Thanks so much for playing along with our inky Paws challenge at Newton's Nook Designs!
What a great card, Cat - loved it the moment I saw it on your blog. Congrats on your well-deserved HM! I will have to remember your idea for drawing the banner and the stamped paw print background - one layer cards are such a challenge! Hugs...
