A day in the life of a cat . . .

Happy Tuesday Dies R Us Fans!

Darlene with you once again, hoping to inspire you with using die cuts on your card/project creations.  Today's card was easy and fun to make.  

I created this little 'scene' using the Die-namites 'Spring Window' die about a month ago and finally got it off my work table and onto a card front.

 By simply using a white piece of cardstock, I lightly sponged blue ink over it to create the look of a sky.  Next I adhered my die cut to the sky paper panel and fussy cut around the outside edge.  I used my Spectrum Noir DR5 alcohol marker to color in the birdhouse.  Such a fun and cute little scene and one I'm sure all your cat lovers have seen first hand!

Here's the entire card ...

 

I love the silhouette look so kept everything else on my card in black and white.  Here are the other Dies R Us products I have used today:

Impression Obsession 'Cats'

Tattered Lace 'Kensington Corner' #D318

Spellbinder M-bossabilities 'Ornamental Iron'

I've used pop dots to add dimension to the cat in the window as well as the cat that is walking away.  Offray black satin ribbon, a small tie of Offray black organza ribbon and a Martha Stewart bird punched black bird are my only other embellishments.
