Meow-ch! Get Well Card

A fellow sister in Christ from my church recently fell and broke her hip, and I thought it might lift her spirits to receive a funny get well card. She's been dealing with a lot of very serious health issues over the past few years, so I've sent several pretty floral cards with encouraging scriptures in them, but this time around I thought I would go for something humorous that might bring some much-needed levity. 

Awhile back I won the Art Impressions card challege and chose this darling cat-themed set as my prize. Thanks, AI! I used 2 of the cat stamps and 4 of the sentiments when I made this card (this set has so many options!), and I colored the kitties using my Ohuhu Honolulu alcohol markers. I fussy cut the kitties and used dies to cut out the sentiments. 

I chose an accordion style card base so I could use the panels to fit all the details I wanted to include. I used a paw print stamp to create a random pattern of paw prints on two of the panels that seemed kind of plain otherwise. I used Art Glitter glue and foam tape to adhere everything to the card base.
