I made this card for a young couple I know who are graduating from college in a couple of weeks. Years ago, I found a stack of cat paper and knew I had to have it. I think I've only ever used three sheets before today!
I cut the cat from Paisley and the graduation cap from Everyday Paper Dolls. The frames around both the cat and sentiment are from Ashlyn's Alphabet. (I've really been enjoying Ashlyn's Alphabet lately.) I embossed the top layer of the frame under the cat. I used two border punches. I believe that one is from EK Success, and the mouse border was created with a Martha Stewart punch. I added some ribbon and a few gems, drew the cat's face, and I assembled.
This week, Practical Scrappers has a challenge to use patterned paper. As well, Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge posted a sketch which I followed. I will enter this card at both of those blogs.
I love the rat border you used to go with your image. Great idea! I have only used that for Halloween. So glad you joined the challenge at Peachy Keen! Good luck!
