For the StampinB challenge this week, in honor of April Fool's Day, Vicky Gould challenged us to do a humorous card. I thought any cat owner would get this. LOL I'm using a digi image from Phindy's Place called Lord of the Manor. I stamped twice, colored, cut out the cat, and mounted with dimensionals. I sponged my clouds using a SU circled scallop punch template and added grass from my Martha Stewart grass punch. The top is a spiral punch from SU. For my sentiment (Lord of the Manor), I used my Print Shop watermark.
Hope my card gives you a little laugh and we want you to join us and let us see YOUR humorous card.

Too funny, Brenda!! I love how you popped up the kitty--he certainly looks *draped* over the manor, don't you think?? Clever use of punches, too, Ms Prez!! I saw how you sneaked in that SU circle scallop punch for your sponged sky. That certainly ups your punchez tally for this card!! And silly me, I almost missed the grass punch. I'm going to have work on my quick punchez recognition!! Anyway, fun card. I'm looking forward to doing my humorous one for the Stampin'Bs this weekend

Okay, is this a total of 3 punchez?????? I believe it is. LOVING that grass punch Benz and what a very FUNNY card with that oversized cat owning the home!! So true it is! Oops, I just realized it's 4 punchez as you used the scallop punch to do the clouds. Way 2 go my self-nominated Prez!! Hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend and buy extra punchez for Dizzy and myself. We're tiring of waiting!! Hugsxxoo TFS!
