Birthday Card ~ A Kitty For Your Day

I had so much fun sponging my background using a stencil 

yesterday I broke out another one to play with.

Next I embossed the center band with dots and zig zags.

Then I hand cut a tag to stamp Newton on.

I colored up Newton and added a sentiment to the bag front.

To finish up I added some beautiful twine I was 

lucky enough to win at one of Diana's DL Art challenges.

Thanks Diana. You are the best.
