A Kitty Cat Card and a bunch more challenges!

Happy Hump Day!
Today's card features one of the cutest Kitty cat images I've seen in a long while!
I'm a big cat lover and so working with this was a lot of fun!
And of course it was fun too to comb through the challenge blogs to find ones to combine in this card and today I found 8!
Friday Sketchers started me off with the sketch
Color Throwdown gave me the color combo of Rose Red, Bordering Blue and Pirouette Pink
Secret Saturday had a "recipe" of 3 buttons, 2 designer papers and 1 ribbon
Cute Card Thursday wanted eyelets and so I ran the ribbon through 2 heart shaped eyelets
Simon Says Stamp wanted some distressing so I sanded the edges of the mats and the card and then inked them
DRS Designs asked for Faux Stitching (I'm not sure if my card qualifies for this challenge as I couldn't see anywhere whether you needed to use a DRS stamp and as I don't have any of them I couldn't use one but I did do the challenge :))
Paper Blooms wanted a hidden sentiment so I popped mine into a glassine envelope and tucked it behind the image.
and finally
CCEE Stampers had a supply challenge and wanted you to use a floral dp and at least one brad.



This cute kitty is called Olive and she comes from Digi Stamp Boutique. She was colored with Copic's and I added a tiny button brad to her hair bow.
The dp are K&Co (blue pattern) and The Paper Studio (roses)
I colored a white flower with Copic's to match the flowers in the image and added tiny Dress It Up buttons to the bottom corner.




I carried the dp inside and also faux stitched the mat to match the front.



I cut Olive with a label Nestie turned an angle and I think it gives a touch of whimsey to her.
Anyway this may be my last card this week as I have DT obligations that I have to do and I'm trying to get a fe weeks ahead as my Mum arrives from England next Thursday and I don't want to miss a moment with her!
Have a great rest of your Wednesday.
Katie
