Here's my card going to cat-loving little Payson for this week's The Heart of the Matter MMTPT challenge, hosted by Polly this week. At first when I read about Payson's granddad living by the water I was thinking of Snoopy sitting on the dock, but when I read on to how she loves cats, and took a look at the teapot and cookies, I changed tack. There's a tiny video snip where I've linked this upload on the challenge thread, which shows the waterfall in action and all the kitties I used. Coincidentally the stamps all have borders, which fit well with Polly's extra challenge element, but I also doodled a border on the waterfall strip.
I have a soft spot for the Waterfall Card tutorial as it's how I discovered SCS. I used one of the MFT file folder dies to cut a tab in the end of the waterfall strip and added a sentiment from Lawn Fawn's Push Here, great for interactive cards. Not needing to add fibres or ribbon to pull makes this much less bulky.
Images stamped on white card and coloured with Polychromos pencils. I upped the sizes of the squares slightly from the tutorial, to accommodate the size of my stamped images and allow for matting.

Oh wow this is fabulous Sabrina, what a great treat for Payson. I loved your little video, next time you MUST SPEAK. I could listen to your beautiful voice all day long.

Absolutely genius to make Payson a waterfall kitty card. She will get so much delightful moments as she oohs and aahs and play with your cheerful and fun creation. I love all your different borders around each kitty.
