Life is Better with a Cat

Challenge 2 today from the Peartree Cutfile's January Online Crop. This one is set by Emma Kate, and the idea was to pick a line from the 9 square Tic, Tac, Toe chart. I chose Black background, Peartree Cutflie and Patterned paper.

My photo is one of our lovely Liquorice, she used to love to sit on my knitting basket so I couldn't get the wool!

I chose the 'Life is Better with a Cat' cutfile:

For the black background I used some black wood effect paper from a Bo Bunny - Prairie Chic collection. I trimmed this down and added a mat oof deep red Bazzill. I did the same with a deep border of paper from the Basic Grey Oliver collection. The cut file was cut twice from red and black patterned paper from the same collection. The journalling was added to a scrap of patterned paper.

I added stars and a circular element sticker from the Oliver collection. the date is made from Basic Grey number stickers.
I used some Nuvo drops to add sparkle to the larger letters.
All the edges were inked with Black Soot Distress Ink.

This is Emma's original layout:

Thanks for looking.
