Why Fit In?

Another family birthday today - Arizona yesterday and Texas today.  

Birthday greetings go out to Sabrina!

When I decided on an image for this card, I knew I wanted to use one of Beccy's Place, Cattitude images.  But when I searched to see what type of cat I needed to make, I have to say I thought I was in trouble when I saw their fur baby was a Siamese!  I've never tried to color a Siamese before, but now was the time to try.

 

After Copic coloring I fussy cut the image and set it to the side.  I pulled an orange paw print for the card background and used a strip of light brown dotted Swiss for a vertical strip for the image.  To add a bit of sparkle, I added the purple glitter  paper behind the brown.   

I secured the base of the cat and added some foam squares behind the cat's head for dimension.  After die cutting the sentiment tag, I added the purple glitter paper and secured both to the card front.  Lastly I added the purple twine at the fold and tied the Happy Birthday tag in the bow.
