No weigh!

My friend has just achieved 10kg weight loss, so I decided to mark the occasion with a fun card.  Inside it says, This is the correct way to do it!

Background, paint, snowflakes and sentiment:  Pixel Scrapper
Scored border.

This design had a wee accident in the making but ended up making a more interesting card.  I cut the background narrower than it was supposed to be, so added the scored lines to the base card and let the cat sprawl out over it.  I was going to raise the cat on 3D foam but decided to make it flat for easier posting.

Seriously

I love nothing more than getting inky, so here we go with the image inked and the background inked, spritzed, sprayed and splattered!  For the glasses I used an embossing pen and black EP .

Sometime I want to send an appreciation or 'no reason' card, either to let someone know I'm thinking about them, to encourage them, or to recognise an achievement.
