Hi and Happy New Year! I hope you all had a happy Holiday Season. What better way to start off the New Year making a card with my two favorite things - cats and birds! Over at the Inspiration Station challenge they are showing a photo to inspire you each month. Here is the picture for this month.
Since these are my two favorite things I made my card to go along with the picture. I have three cats and they love looking out the window at the birds at my bird feeders.
At the Double Trouble challenge the option is to use a stencil. I stenciled the branch and then used some ink to lightly color in the leaves.
Stencil: Branch - Unknown
Stamps: Bird - Illustration of Faith
Cat - Lost Coast Designs
Die: Window - Memory Box
Paper: Coastal Couture - DCWV
Distress Inks
Archival Inks
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I wish you all a very Happy and Blessed New Year!

I had to laugh because right now that is exactly what my cats are doing at this very minute :) Cute starry cat and sweet birdy!

So cute, April! My cat spends hours on the windowsills. Thank you for joining us at Double Trouble #128.
My cats used to love sitting on the window ledge looking out onto the garden so your card brought back happy memories for me. Wishing you a Happy New Year. hugs Mrs A.
Love this scene you created, as a cat owner this is like one of the many photos taken of my cat. So glad you used Twisted Sister optional twist using a stencil. Thank you for sharing your cute card with us at Double Trouble and getting your inspiration from Inspiration Station.
April, what a clever interpretation of the inspiration photo! You even used a stencil for our Double Trouble optional part of the challenge!! Thank you so much for sharing your card and creativity with us for our first challenge of 2023!!! -Donna
loving your card, such a great take on the photo. Thanks for sharing it with us at the Inspiration Station Challenge this month. Smiles, Kathy
What a cute card inspired by that photo! I love cats and birds too - of course not together lol. Thanks for sharing your creation with us at Double Trouble :)
Look at you go! April your card couldn't be any closer to the inspiration photo. I like the tree and bird outside and the paper used on the cat.
