Today I chose to 'follow a lead', in other words take inspiration from a card posted for that purpose. I lament that all 'CASE' challenges seem to have disappeared. When they were active I was too new to card making to participate, but now I find the idea fun.
But I digress. I decided to keep the layout, but build my own scene. I found a lovely sentiment in a stamp set that also gave me the idea for the scene. In the end I settled for my beloved cute cat stamps and small cloud+raindrop dies.
The background was a simple three color blend. I had created a mask to protect the stamping which allowed me not to worry about getting color on the cat. I die cut the cloud and rain drops from colored papers and backed them with card stock so they would have some heft. I also added some Wink of Stella onto the rain drops and lined the cloud with it.
I am entering this in these lovely challenges:
AAA cards: #318 Follow my lead
A Cut Above: July AG / 2 year anniversary challenge
Cut it Up: #360 Create your own background
Polkadoodles: #7 AG
Gem of a Challenge: AG
