Cats R Best

The latest challenge over at As You Like It is pick your favourite animal and say why - clearly I couldn't sit this one out and clearly there is one obvious choice - well in my case anyway!

Cats win hands down, they are loving and cuddly, cute and funny, loyal when they want to be and easy to look after/co-exist with!

Currently I have two cats, Femo a 6 year old female and Merlot a 2 year old male.  Love them to bits and could never be without a feline companion...or two!

Anyway back to the challenge and my card,

It uses a Sami stamp, two sided papers and some die cuts.

Birthday Kitty

Today I'm using a Sami Stamp for the first time - a lovely digi I won a couple of weeks back called Birthday Kitty.

I've kept my card nice and simple and made it DL shape for a change!  That was so I could get the balloon big enough for my new Happy Birthday die cut!

The edges of my card are distressed with TH scattered straw, then a line of die cut paws along the bottom completes my CAS card.
