The kitten is finally more like herself today but she is starting to pull at her stitches. I made her a collar to limit her access to them but she absolutely hates wearing it.
Can you believe I used the votive lampshade template and adhesive velcro dots to create it! LOL I couldn't get one from the vet yesterday, being that they were closed for Canada Day so I was left to fashion one myself. I amost considered stamping on it but I think DH would have thought I was absolutely crazy if I did that. Anyhow .... on to the card .....
This is a CASE and slight modification of Stacey King's Thanks-a-Daisy card. She is incredibly talented when it comes to using punches and I love checking out her blog to see what new things she has come up with.
The petals were made with the large oval punch. I sponged the lower half of the petal with pink passion ink and added some lines with a pink passion marker. The center of the flower is a 1" barely banana circle that has been sponged with so saffron ink. A white gel pen and creamy caramel marker were used to add accent dots randomly on the the circle.
The layered sentiment was created from the large and small oval punches and the scallop oval punch. The "just for you" sentiment is from the new Teeny Tiny Wishes set. I love the simplicity of this card. It is very quick and easy to put together.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great Thursday!

As soon as I clicked on your blog I thought, "Wow! Where did Laurie get that fab flower?" Then I read that you MADE it with the oval punches, and I thought, "Yea!!! I have those!" I used your link to click to see Stacey's card. Both are fabulous :) I love your sentiment on the nested ovals...I have those too heeheehee. I may just have to do my own CASE of a CASE. TFS!

I had seen punched flowers before, but how you scored the petals make such a HUGE difference in the final result! I love the dimension it gives the flower! Very nice job :D

Oh Wow! This is beautiful! I love the flower and how you sponged the petals and how you did the center as well! And this color combo is awesome! I may have to try this myself with the punches!

Once again Laurie you have created a BEAUTIFUL card!!! With that said I really have to say the story about the cat and the collar (I was impressed that you made your own BTW) and then to be tempted STAMPING on it - honestly I couldn't stop laughing!!! I would have loved to see your DH's face if you did!!!! PRICELESS!!! :)
