Sun and Sand - PSC84

Welcome back to another Wednesday and a new challenge from Perfect Sentiment!

It's been quite a stressful week with 3 kitties - check em up up there on the blog header ^ - each suffering from a different ailment, but all requiring meds.  Ugh!  None of them like pill pockets so I had to resort to smashing the pills and putting them in a syringe with a little bit of chicken stock.  Then try to manage the cat and the syringe by myself to get the medicine down the throat!  Please don't tell me to wrap them in a towel or blanket.  Tried that, they went ballistic!  I was able to mostly keep each one isolated and get the meds in them, but it sure wasn't easy.  Very exhausting.  Hopefully they are on the mend and won't need any more meds. 

Well, thanks for listening.  Now on to my card.
The image is from Simply Betty Stamps - Sand Castle Betty.  If you don't know SBS, then you really need to check out her blogs and her store with all her fabulous images.  The image is printed on Xpress It Blending Card and the cardstock is Stampin Up Baja Breeze.  When I was looking for paper for this, I found a Summer set from Oriental Trading.  It had some bold pieces of paper and the pretty light blue background paper.  I cut the big paper wave out of one of the sheets of paper and trimmed it with some bling from Dovecraft to spice up the layout. The sticker embellishments as well as the sentiment is also from Oriental Trading.

The Copics I used:  BG0000, BG000, BG01, BG02, BG10; E000, E01, E11, E30, E31, E33; R83; Y06, Y18, Y28; YR01, YR02; W0, W2, W3; 0; Signo White Gel pen.

I invite you to check out the rest of the Design Team's creations.  You can find the links on the left side of my blog or just click on the PSC link up above.  I hope they will inspire you and that you'll want to join in.  We'd love to see what you create.

  2. That cut out wave is sensational!!!! Love the cute image but the background and that wave just jumps right off the card! Fantastic!!!
    I've always heard to wrap a cat in a towel for meds too. We tried it one time with ours and that was all I'd ever want to try!! NOT fun at all!

  6. Hope the kitties feel better soon! When mine was sick it was always a free for all, but with 3, I would be really stressed.
    What a fun card you made! The use of the paper, and that wave is just perfect for her!

  15. This is super cute! I love that big swirl in the paper that goes so great with the image. I hope your kitties are better soon. I know it's not easy to give meds to an otherwise healthy and vigorous cat!
