My card today features the Kitty Cake digi!

I started by coloring my image with Copic markers and cut him out with my circle nesties. Actually I did this several days ago, but I couldn't decide what I wanted to do with the rest of the card. I'm so glad I waited because in the meantime my new Thrift Shop papers arrived from Kate at I {Heart} Papers. It was a coinky-dink that my coloring matched the papers AND THEN I stumbled upon this week's Sketch For You To Try from Jen del Muro.

I added in just a few simple touches like the hemp twine and staples...then I felt my focal panel just needed a little umph so I grabbed one of the clear rubber sets from Chicken Girl called "Birthday Wishes" and added a little balloon to Mr. Mousey's hand and a newsprint-wrapped present to my design. I also used the sentiment from this set "Let's Party". I love how the clear stamps coordinated with my digi stamp so well!!! The Birthday Wishes set is still available for purchase in the I {Heart} Papers store. Click HERE to view the entire set.
