Feline Better

Another quick card using a Newton's Nook stamp (Newton's Sick Day).  I don't know about y'all but, as I've said before, I never have a get well type card on hand when I need it.  There's so many cute images in this set I don't think I'll have an excuse not to have one now!

I found this red embossing paste at a store in the city that has since closed it's doors.  Really a VERY bright red and so pretty - and goes on super smooth too!  I used a stencil and embossed the red stripes at the bottom.  The kitty nurse was mainly left white (with touches of gray).  A sentiment added and a bit of twine.  Except for waiting for the embossing paste to dry overnight, it was a really quick card.

I'll enter this in the Simon Says Stamp challenge (Wednesday) (Furry Friends).

Thanks for stopping by.........

    OK, you've inspired me to get and use some stencil paste, Lynn. I haven't seen it in the stores but then I haven't really been looking for it. I adore what you did with that bright red paste! Kitty is precious and the twine really 'ties' everything together. (Oh, come on -- you knew someone was going to say that -- it might as well be me. lol)

    I thought that red and white was dsp until I read you used embossing paste! It turned out perfect, and what a darling little get-well card too! So cute with nurse kitty :)

    Super cute, Lynn! Looks like the candy stripers from back in the day! I love how you make CAS cards like none other - I could pick yours out of a line up of 100 they are so unique and beautiful ♥ And we both have cats on our blogs - LOL! Maggie will be over the moon! :)

    And there was me thinking that the stripes at the bottom of the card was a piece of DP...but the embossing is lovely and I bet that adds a lovely texture IRL :-)
    This cute kitty and fun sentient would be just the trick to cheer someone up if they were under the weather - so lovely :-)

    Big hugs, Kat xx

    Such a sweet, sweet card. I love those bold red stripes. Newton's Nook has the cutest images. I keep pretending they don't exist. It is easier on my budget that way. This card is great and you are right you never have a get well card when you need it. Darn people need to stop getting sick!!!

    Again, I'm impressed with this border! Thought it was paper or washi, til I read the post! You are doing awesome things just lately - with all this new stuff. Cute kitty, with her little TLC hat, and a perfectly cheery, happy Get well. Oh you are such an organized thing! Hugs
