I am still on my mission to finish all my birthday cards for the year. So far all cards I have are in envelopes with stamps and addresses. They are batched with my birthday calendar cut up into individual months which shows the date and the recipient. The cards are getting mailed out timely.
I mail somewhere around 60 birthday cards, and I have 7 left to do as of this posting. No surprise they are all man cards. The family males are all getting critter cards this year.
I followed the sketch from the Inky Paws Challenge.
I added a stripe of line plaid stamping in navy onto my navy card base. Its a subtle look perfect for a man card. I added the same stamping to a cream card panel. Next I stamped the Company of Cats stamp onto a cream panel and colored up only 1 cat. That panel was cut down with a square die cut on an angle. The sentiment was stamped, die cut and adhered under the focal panel.
I think this is a nice masculine rendering of the sketch.
Thanks for stopping by.

A great card and nice job with the sketch! I like the subtle stamping to mimic that stamping on the ivory.
What kind of birthday calendar do you use? I used to have one and now can’t find a replacement.

Very cute & I love how you only colored one of the kitties! That is a heck of a lot of birthday card, my friend!

You are so organised, I am often happily making the cards on a whim and then realise I need something specific and have no time to make it, so I am envious of your organisation. I don't have to send nearly as many either so I have no excuse. I love the colours and the plaid stamping on this card xx
Such a sweet card, Cat! I love how you colored one kitty and your plaid background is perfect...especially with your stunning black border! LOVE this card, my friend!!
