The Purrr-fect Dad.

My sweet Kitty is a digi image from Kahwinkedink store.  The Kahwinkedink blog challenge this week is to make a Fathers Day card, I hope you will join us.  Today Kristen is offering another free image (every Tuesday) so stop over and see what she has in store for you.   While you are there see what my DT sisters have made for this challenge too.  These talented gal's have a lot of wonderful ideas for Fathers Day cards.
 A funny thing happened on the way to making this card.  This card must weigh 4 pounds by now.  It started out with just the lay out you see, but I did not have a place to put the sentiment, so I thought I would have the card open on the front panel, great idea huh?  I couldn't remove my original panels so I glued the folded pieces over the top.  Then the inside did not look right so I added 2 green panels, the sentiment was hidden, so OK lets add more panels to the inside, problem solved.  Now the card won't stay closed!  OK add some pennies behind  Kitty, 2 no, I needed 4 to balance it!  Dare I tell you when I placed the sentiment on the inside I placed it upside down?  I love this lay out, I will use it again, but next time I will start off with a plan! 
I used Kahwinkedink's Kitty digi image, DCWV cs paper pieced, Spellbinders Deckled Mega Rectangles Nestabilities, and
Stampin Up Big Shot Texturz Plate Backgrounds #1 Large dots.
I'm submitting this card to the following challenges:

  5. *laughing* Diane, sometimes I have those problems with cards but like you, usually manage to make it into something usable. Yours is gorgeous; you'd never know you had those problems! The kitty is so cute and I love the way it opens to a lovely sentiment and pretty papers! :-)
