Christmas Cat

I found this little fellow in my stash, I think I bought him in the sales last January, but I've not inked him up before today.  It was this sketch challenge over at Addicted to Stamps and More that prompted me to search for a suitable stamp, I seem to have used trees and baubles such a lot I wanted something different.
 I found some paper and matched the card stock to the paper.  I stamped the little cat onto Naturals White card, added a sentiment and Stocking from the Open Sleigh set (I've used this so much it really was a good buy!) and coloured the images using Promarkers. I used some bakers twine for some extra interest and I punched out small circles from matching paper, giving them sparkly centres with silver Stickles and popped the middle one up on a dimensional. I nearly missed the two rectangles at the 'back' but extended part of the paper to give the effect.
As I used a square card base I had to rotate the three elements in the corner to fit them on, I hope this counts as OK for the challenge. Weekend nearly over now, so I will have to leave crafting for another day.
