This was a super fun card to make for my lovely DIL's birthday, and I was able to use my new Penny Black "Uplifting Occasion" stamp...isn't it darling. I also decided to use a Starburst bg to add lots of pattern, and I colored my kitty with Copics. My final step was to spritz my card with my Bath & Body Works Diamond Shimmer Mist (oh, my how delicious it smells)!
I am able to enter it into seven SCS challenges:
*The Featured Stamper FA392 - My special day is: National "Let It All Hang Out" Day.

This is such a fun card!! I loved how you made the bg with pattern paper. I think you are a genius to coordinate all that paper with the stamped image and make it look so pretty!!

Fun card and I'm sure your DIL loved it! The image of the kitty in the bra is darling; your coloring made it fabulous. The fun starburst background finishes this to perfection! TFS!
