Hello Friend



Oh so happy that it's Friday!

Today's card is for Winnie & Walter's birthday gradient challenge.

Normally I would probably go the distress ink route, but then I saw this sheet of patterned paper and, my lazy self figured why not let the paper do my work for me?

I kept things very simple on this one.  The cute cat is from an SC set.  I stamped him on my cardstock, then cut away the top using a combination of my paper cutter, detail scissors and a craft knife.  The cat was colored with Copics, I added the sentiment and done!

Hope you have a great weekend!

Supplies Used
Paper/Cardstock:  MME - Market Street 6x6 pad; Avery Elle - White, Black and Silver Fox cardstock
Stamps:  Winnie & Walter - The Big The Bold and the Happy; Studio Calico - Birthday by Lizzie Mackie
Ink:  Memento - Tuxedo Black; Versafine
Other:  Copics; Scotch - Foam Adhesive; Tombow - Stamp Runner
