This time at Inkspirational
we want to see numbers! To be honest, I had something very different in mind, then a need for card for a youthful gent's 80th, and this was the result.
I used Tim Holtz number stamps and a snarky cat, dressed up with a bow for the occasion. Numbers were gold embossed and fussy cut, the sentiment is cut out of red mirri card. I love how the balloons turned out, stamped on vellum and decorated with frantage, they look translucent and perfect to create a party feel. I added silver string for the cat to hold them. Background was made with black and gold watercolor paints.
Please head over to the challenge blog to see the my INK-teamies have made.

I'm sure the young 80-year-old gent was blown away by your fabulous card; I certainly am! The dapper cat (love his expression), the background, the 80 (I'm in awe of your fussy cutting) make for a masculine marvelous card and wonderful inspiration for our challenge.

Oooh Frantage! You are the queen of Frantage and I may have to steal this idea. I've also done a few watercolour backgrounds recently and not known what to do with them. Yours looks great.
The look on the cat's face is priceless! It so fits with this great 80th birthday card. Thanks for joining us at Cardz 4 Guyz! I hope to see you in the gallery again soon. Sue - DT
