I’m closing out today with a sweet kitty get-well card for the Cat Lovers Hop.
This month’s TCP Tuesday Challenge (#351) theme is holiday. This is a stretch, but in Europe saying you’re on holiday means you’re on vacation. Well, where I worked, vacation days and sick days were all lumped together, solving the problem of people calling in sick when they just wanted a day off. Since taking a day off in bed IS a kind of forced holiday, I’m entering this in the challenge…. let’s celebrate getting better! : )
Ah, yes, sit back and milk it, taking life one cup at a time!
Tip: Take a little Brutus Monroe Alabaster pigment ink on your finger and run it over embossed details to highlight them.
Good ol’ Glossy Accents and a Sparkle Pen jazz things up a little.
And, if you don’t have the right color of faux pearls, take a Copic marker to white ones!
Supplies:
- The Cats Pajamas Big Cups & You Sick Thing stamp sets
- Spellbinders Isabella Frame dies
- Recollections 110# blue cardstock; 65# white
- Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black dye ink
- Brutus Monroe Alabaster pigment ink
- Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen – clear
- Copic markers: C1, 3; G24; RV02, 04, 63; Y13
- Pebbles, Inc. Pearlescent Chalks Jewel Tones
- Ranger Inkssentials Glossy Accents
- Simply Defined Stay-Put glue & Permanent adhesive
- Misc. ribbon, faux pearls and puffy heart

What? You were expecting something here before I sign off? Ok, I DO have another pic for ya….
Bwahahahaha… This is where I’ll take a picture of TOMORROW’s giveaway. You didn’t think I could have a giveaway on EVERY post, did you? The clearance bins were generous this year (plus I didn’t have a blogiversary party), but not THAT generous. Lol! : ) Now that I’ve got the bulk of them posted, there will still be another giveaway posted tomorrow and more on Saturday, so off you pop to play with your four-legged fur-babies and keep an eye out for upcoming posts! Meanwhile, you can comment on this post without having to come up with a specific word. : ) Likes on Instagram and re-pins on Pinterest are still appreciated! Thanks for all your support!!

I love your logic for entering this card into a holiday themed challenge 🙂 You have some seriously awesome frames for making cards – and this lacy one is probably my favourite so far! Your get well card would bring a smile to anyone’s day – the kitty stamps you used on the inside and outside are so cute! (Love the slippers on the tea drinking cat!) The pearl details on the lacy frame are gorgeous too! x
