Hello and happy Hump Day to you all!
It seems like a long week to me already. One of my sweet kitties got a scratch from a feral cat a little over a week ago and it got infected and then abscessed. We’ve had surgery to remove the infection and now there is a tube running through his forehead and a hard plastic cone around his neck. He also has to stay isolated inside. That is a tall order for a cat who is normally outside 20 hours a day. He’s absolutely miserable and there’s not much I can do for him besides keep his wound clean, give him his meds, and love him well. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
So enough bad news! How about a brand new Color Throwdown challenge? Jodi is our hostess and here are her color choices:

I wasn’t sure about the combo to start with but I ended up loving it! I used my favorite Mondo Peony from the Essentials by Ellen line and my new Wavy Coloring Book background from My Favorite Things to make this sympathy card. The sentiment is from the PTI Inspired: Prayer mini stamp set and die.

The background is white embossed and then sponged with Distress inks. The peony is colored with my Copic markers.
I’m going to have to cut this post short. My sweet Punkin wants to be held.
Please try to play along with us and also please stop by to visit with each of the design team members.

Thank you so much for dropping by!
It seems you always have something new and interesting to intrigue me. That background is pretty cool! Beautiful card, Broni. I'm so sorry about your kitty getting scratched by the hooligan. I can imagine how miserable he is with the tube and the cone. Poor little thing doesn't understand.
