THE CATS MEOW CHALLENGE


 I made this card using one of the free images from LeeAnne at Fripperies and Butterflies, for her Cats Meow Birthday Challenge.  She will have voting on the entries next Saturday, her Birthday.  I will also enter it in the January color challenge (blue and purple) at the Gecko Galz Yahoo Group.  I would love to see some of you there, LeeAnne has so many fun challenges to take part in.   
So I fussed a lot to make this card, I used a new punch I received from my daughters beau for Christmas along with some lace I cut out and Stickled the outline on, (it looks really beautiful IRL).  I punched some vellum for the sentiment and added a rhinestone embellishment I found on clearance last year.  The trim around the image is from a head band I bought at Dollar Tree, it was 9 rows wide and around 10 inches long with some elastic attached.  I cut it into 9 long strands to embellish my cards with.  I had a hard time getting this to pick up in the photos.
Sorry I have been away from visiting this week, I hope to get caught up today.
Well that's it for today, thanks for looking.  ~Diane

    This is the cat's whiskers as well as the cat's meow! And the cream on the birthday cake, too. Love what you have made, it was worth all the hard work! Love the matching inset in the envelope, too! Good luck with the challenges! Hugs, Valerie

    Hi Diane, This card is just beautiful. I love the colors and all the details. All your hard work really made for a stunning card. How fun that you used a headband from the Dollar Store. They sure have some great items to use for creating. Love the lace too.

    Just love the coordinating envelope too. Good Luck on the challenges. I know you will do really well.

    Have a great rest of the weekend.
    Hugs, Celestina Marie

    Don't worry about being late for my birthday post, I'm late getting back to you too! Thank you for your lovely comment. You are awesome!!!

    As for that card, I think it is amazing!! And what an inspiring thought, to go to the dollar store, look in the hair stuff aisle, and you can get 9 rows of rhinestones? Genius!!! I will be going for sure!!
