Fluffles & Flowers - 3CT Sketch Challenge

Here we are again joining Kerry in this weeks 3CT Challenge.   This week the challenge was to use this sketch as the starting point for our cards.  I rarely work with (Square) cards although I like them as they do allow for a little more room to move things around on then a standard size card.  I'm not entirely sure I interpreted the sketch correctly since I don't have 2 different patterns of paper over the main card base.  Still I like how this turned out.  Besides I feel fortunate that I was able to participate this week having just had my CT surgery one week ago.

 On a "side note" things are going pretty well with the surgery.  I still have some numbness in one of my fingers and the inside of my hand feels stiff but I'm told eventually both of these things should go away completely.  My hand hurts a little when I move it certain directions and I think I may need to pace myself a little more as far as crafting goes right now but I'm happy that I had the surgery.

I adore "Fluffles" the cat (Stampedous) and since I already had this stamped image in my stack of stamped images waiting to be colored I decided to go with it for my card.  Then I picked out the Designer Paper, (Basic Grey - Sultry) and went from there with my color scheme.  On another "side-note" - It seems Kerry and I often have the same tastes as far as DP goes as you will note from her use of this same patterned paper on this card: and this isn't the first time I've discovered that we have the same DP (Great Minds Think Alike!).
