Creative papercrafting with occasional side trips

Cats & Books

Cats are wonderfully independent yet affectionate companions, bringing quiet comfort with their soft purrs and curious personalities. Books open entire worlds, offering knowledge, escape, and imagination with every page turned. Together, cats and books create the perfect peaceful moment-curling up with a good story while a content cat rests nearby is a simple kind of magic.

This card is an entry into the Newton’s Nook Inky Paws Challenge. It was a color challenge this time, with the requirement being to use magenta, yellow, purple, and turquoise. I used the Card Layout 3 and papers from the Springtime, Happy Easter, and A Cat’s Life paper pads for the background. The image and sentiment are from Newton’s Book Club, colored with Copic markers and accented with gold gel pen. A few gold baubles round out the card.

    So very true! Newton looks so comfy on his stack of brightly colored books! The background paper piecing is perfect! Thanks for joining the Inky Paws Challenge! (^,,^)/
