CAS Christmas Mid Month Reminder

Hi Everyone I'm here with a  CAS Christmas Card Challenge mid month reminder card, our host Susan has asked for some Cats and Dog.


I have quite a few friends who are cat lovers and as soon as I saw these Tim Holtz Snarky Cats I knew I had to have them, they are just so snarky.😏
 
 
 
For my card I lightly stenciled Distress Oxide ink through a Mandala stencil, then stamped the cat image and coloured it with Alcohol pens. I used Glossy accents on the eyes and Wink of Stella on the white areas of the hat and the cat's beard. This was a pretty quick card to make so I think I will use the set of cats for my friends.
 

Here is a close up of the little snarky Kitty.

Your snarky cat put a smile on my face, Christine! Actually, his facial expression with the shiny big eyes and the witty sentiment will make anyone who receives this card smile. :-)

Christine, this is just too funny, what a fantastic snarky sentiment too! I bet your animal lovers really get a hoot out of this card!

Hahaha!! I had a lot of fun admiring your card, but I don't agree with you that cats are malicious creatures. Cats are cute, but they can take care of their needs and that's what makes them different from dogs.
The card is beautiful with a delicate background drawing and this lovely kitten. It would be a great card for me because I love cats :-)
