Curtis the Cat Birthday - Stampin' Up!® Month by Month Alphabet

    My boys' birthdays are 4 days apart so there is always a lot of birthday celebration during birthday week.  And So. Much. Cake.  It's hard to get through so much birthday dessert no matter how good it is.  We currently have most of a SpongeBob cake, most of an assorted cheesecake platter and a key lime pie that I had bought for an event that ended up being cancelled.  I'm going to have to make room in the freezer I think!  Anyway... my card today is for my oldest on his birthday.  I decided to do a punch art cat that looks like his cat since the SpongeBob card came out so well.

  Meet Curtis the Cat.  He's actually not this chubby in real life but the shape worked and I used the dies that I had on hand.  I started with a Balmy Blue background embossed with the Forever Plaid embossing folder.   The stripes on Curtis are created with an aqua painter and Peach Pie ink as well as some white craft ink sponged on various areas to mimic Curtis' white splotches.  The edges of all the pieces are sponged with Pumpkin Pie ink to give him a fuzzy appearance.

  The eyes came out kind of crazy looking; he doesn't look this unhinged in real life lol!  The whiskers are just super thin cuts of Basic White.  The stamped meow's are made with the Month By Month Alphabet set that comes in the Stampin' Up! Virtual Album Retreat kit.

  

  He may look like he wants you to rub his belly but don't be fooled!!  lol!

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?

All of the current supplies used for this card can be purchased in my ONLINE STORE.
