Books and Cats!

 I love to read - Stephen King is my absolute favorite author (and no, I'm not mad at him about his silly "tweet" - I took it for what it was, he was making fun of the POSOTUS and being sarcastic) and I've always prided myself on reading every new book as soon it comes out. However, I've found myself distracted by social media in the past few years, which has resulted in less reading.  I decided to actively change that when I realized I've got the last 4 Stephen King books just waiting to be read!  So the other night, I turned off the TV and went into the grandkids room and just read for hours.  It felt so good, and I am going to continue to make the effort to do that instead of watching mindless TV and doom-scrolling!  LOL

I'd like to enter the card below into the following challenges:

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Anything Goes

Crafty Catz - Anything Goes

Girlz Rebel #40 - Anything Goes With an Image

Inky Paws Sketch Challenge #240

Color Throwdown #832

I created all of the background papers by blending Distress Oxide inks on watercolor paper and spritzing with water. I love this color combo - it's one of my favorites from Color Throwdown (I use their challenges as inspiration all the time when I'm feeling stumped!). I stamped the sentiment directly on the red paper with Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. I stamped the kitty from Newton's Nook Newton's Book Club set with Versafine Black, embossed with clear embossing powder, and colored with Copics. I used the Deckled Circle die cut from Mama Elephant to cut it out and attach with foam dimensional tape. Peace.
