Hello and Happy Friday! There is a new {PIN}spirational challenge out this month - #271 challenge: Birthday Hearts - and I decided to use the Love Cats stamp set once again, but this time for a birthday card to showcase its versatility. Are you getting tired of seeing this set yet?
Here is the inspiration image for the month that is to be used on a birthday card at the {PIN}spirational challenge blog.
As you can see, I pulled the color palette from the image using basic black and flirty flamingo to make my card. The heart oval was die cut into the basic black card stock using one of the dies from the Framed Florets dies. Unfortunately, this item is currently unavailable due to it being on backorder until late March. Since the hearts were cut out, I backed it with a slightly smaller piece of flirty flamingo card stock so it would show through. The oval was die cut from another die in the set. I stamped the cute hanging kitty on it using early espresso ink and colored in the heart with a flirty flamingo stampin' write marker. The birthday sentiment is from the Happiness Abounds stamp set. It was easy to line up on the 3/8" wide strip of flirty flamingo card stock since this is a photopolymer set.

For the inside panel, I stamped another sentiment from the Happiness Abounds stamp set with flirty flamingo ink. The tiny basic black hearts are what were cut from the front panel. These are teeny, but add a nice touch don't you think? I am saving the rest and save them for a shaker card for another day.
Here is one more view of my card. Thanks for visiting and happy stamping!
