Featured Stamper 264 - Cat Crazy

Ah, my favourite challenge! This one was easy - so many lovely cards to choose from. We had a very busy Sunday, so I didn't get a chance to play until Monday, but I would hate to miss a featured stamper challenge.

Here's the first one I chose for inspiration - you know I can't resist a snowflake!

And here's my take - different colours and embossed differently, but same basic layout:

Second inspiration piece:

I focused on the intricate die cut and the 3 dots and came up with this funky thing:

This final inspiration:

What stood out for me on this one was the rounded sentiment over the the focal image. This inspiration resulted in the birthday card I'm going to give my daughter, whose birthday is next Monday.

I'm so happy with this card! I think the colours, sparkles and clean layout are the perfect mix of sophistication and fun for a nine year old. I can't wait to give it to her!
