I colored up this adorable image and cut it with my Scan n Cut before setting it aside to work on the rest of the card. I had it in my head that I wanted an embossed resist background, so I partially embossed the Prism Lines stamp by Hero Arts and then added distress inks with my finger to create a sort of rainbow background. I then stamped the sentiment at the bottom and added thin black strips of cardstock down either side.
I added foam tape behind that panel and adhered it to a top-folding white card base. I then added more foam tape behind the Newton image and adhered that to the top.
I'm linking this card up to the Paper Players Animal Antics Challenge

Awww... This little guy is adorable. And I love your background. It adds a fun splash of color.
This is such a sweet card! Beautiful design and coloring.
Oh that Newton! Adorable card and the background you created is fabulous!
For notification purposes.
That's such an interesting background, Karren. I love it! It stops your cute kitten from being too saccharine. The whole card is a delight. Thank you for joining us at The Paper Players this week.
Oh my! Love your background! It really highlights that adorable kitty image and what a perfect sentiment! Fab card for our challenge this week. Thanks for playing over at The Paper Players!
Fabulous sketch, Karren! Beautiful Copic coloring and I love your emboss resist on your background...the pop of bright colors really makes your images pop! Fun card :)
This is SO true!! And I love the fun background you gave it with the pattern and the colors - perfect!
Love that background Karren - you make it sound easier to execute than I suspect it was! Perfect to enable that sweet kitty to shine - what a great card! Thanks for playing along with my theme challenge over at The Paper Players this week!
Oh WOW, Karren, I just adore this fantastic card. Your background is amazing. That pop of color just makes that precious kitty pop of your card! Thank you for joining us at The Paper Players this week! XX
I love how you claim to not be a cat person but seem to be enamored of this cat! I love your background (I am, of course, off to investiate this Prism Lines stamp). The rainbow of colors is a fun way to show off that cute kitty who loves boxes! (And for the record, my kitties love boxes too)!
What a fun take on all of the challenges. Great background.
Oh this is just so fantastic Karren! I just love that sweet little kitty in the box! Reminds me of Pepsi who was hiding in a box yesterday! Your colouring is amazing as alway sand I love that background!
Not only is that a cute and fun image and sentiment, but I just LOVE how you created that partial rainbow background! Very trendy and cool look for a super fun birthday card! Love the sketch too :)
