Two Challenges Together

I am returning to cardmaking slowly and I thought some challenges would help me be creative.

I chose the sketch challenge from 52 Christmas Card Throwdown.

I also am doing the theme challenge at Paper Players.  The theme is four legged friends.  

Here is my card.  This image has been floating around the design tables for quite awhile.  I have several great nieces who are cat lovers so thought this would be a perfect card for one of them.  The paper is also old.  This really could be an oldie moldie Monday post since all the supplies are very well aged.

I used a square die to make my card base and cut the base patterned paper with the same die.  I did take liberty with the sketch by adding the contrasting stripe in the background.  Yay - one more Christmas card done.

Thanks for stopping by.
