Birthday Cat

Continuing with a theme of all things kitty this week, here is a birthday card that I am posting off to a lovely friend tomorrow. It began with a tiny snippet of Rich Razzleberry cardstock that I managed to make a few sequins from using the fantastic Scattered Sequins die from Lil'Inker that I just love!

I then chose a row from the Make the Day Special Challenge which this month is tic tac toe.

 
I decided to go with Embossing-Circles-Bling/Sequins.

I embossed a piece of pink Bazzill cardstock using my SU embossing folder and cut out a circle. Using the inlaid die technique, I placed a cute cat stamped with Hero Arts Playful Animals and coloured with Promarkers. I added sequins cut from Rich Razzleberry and Pumpkin Pie cardstock and added some real ones from the Birthday Bash mix. I quite like the combination of real sequins and 'fake' ones! The sentiment is from SU's Teeny Tiny Sentiments cut with the Word Window punch. I hope you like it! April x

I would also like to enter my card in these challenges:

    A sequin die? Oh my, I did not need to know that such a thing existed. This is a cute card. I came over from the playground to check this card out but if you are having a kitty themed week then I'll need to see even more!

      I know Judy - when I saw that sequin die I had to have it! It also leaves a great negative behind when you cut the sequins out :-) Xx

    Hi April! It's so lovely to meet you at the Playground and become your newest follower! I'd be delighted to have you visit me and join on my side bar, too, if you like! Your kitty card is divine! You have inspired me to get my brand-new (well, like last November!) sequin die out of the container and actually USE it!! Hugs, Darnell
