Continuing in my CAS mode... I haven't played over at CAS Colours & Sketches for a bit and couldn't resist turning out another Valentine. Their Challenge #552 is a great layout for a CAS card and I'm all over that!
You'll notice that I changed the format a bit to a vertical A4 because I thought my little kitty would work best vertically. I have this very old Inkadinkado stamp set that I've used so often, but have never used her image. I stamped her with black ink on white cardstock and fussy cut her out. I made a white side-folded card base and die cut a stitched panel from the same cardstock and tore the lower corner off. I then inserted some Valentine's Day card stock behind, attached both layers to the face of the card, and over-stamped the sentiment in black. I nipped off the top of a die cut heart and attached it to the kitty's mouth and glued her to the front of the panel with a bit of dimensional foam.
I liked this layout so much that I played with it some more with different papers, because I think I'll use this card as this year's Valentine for family and friends. Considering my reputation as "the crazy cat lady", it seems quite appropriate!

Such a sweet card, Fran. Love how the kitty is holding the heart in her mouth, and those background papers! (swoon). Gorgeous! So glad you were inspired by the sketch - thanks for sharing with us at CC&S.
