My family has a cat. His name is Dash. He's so large and big it is really hard for him to creep up on you. I'm pretty sure he saves all his stealthy action during nighttime hunting, because during the day he just sleeps. Yep, sleeps. Doesn't even creep. But, alas, he's still a good cat.
Today there is another great sketch at Skipping Stones Designs for the Sketch Challenge, design by Chan Vuong. We welcome guest designers Jimmi Mayo, Betsy Veldman and Jessica Griffin. Skipping Stones Design is also teaming up with the really cool company, Creative Impressions for this month!
I pulled by turning the sketch on its side, and pulled out the really fabulous and totally punny Holiday Cats and paired it up with the dots from Garden Kiss. Some beautiful pleated ribbon and a small brad accent finishes the design. I was inspired by the colors from The Play Date Cafe.
Looking forward to seeing your take on the sketch!
