Thank You Meowy Much

I needed some thank yous and I had a few bits and pieces laying around from other cards, so I put them together.  The strips of designer series papers and punched out/embossed cats were from some of my On Stage convention swaps.

I layered the strips of dsp onto Very Vanilla, and then ran that whole thing through the Big Shot with the Tin Tile embossing folder.

Then I added the doily, a 2" circle of Early Espresso and popped the punched/embossed cat up with Stampin' Dimensionals.  Added a bow tied with the Braided Linen trim. 

The only thing that I stamped was the "thank you", which came from the Notes of Kindness Kit.  I stamped that on scraps of Very Vanilla, and hand-cut.

After it was finished, it looked a little plain so I went back in and sponged some Gold Encore ink onto the Tin Tile embossed parts.  It's just a little bit, and it's not uniform but it makes that background stand out just enough.

I hope you like it!  I'm sure we've all got a few thank you cards to send out after the holidays.
