Purple and White Birthday

Yesterday morning my husband was looking out the window into our back yard and said that he thought he saw two kittens. I went out to investigate, and sure enough, there were three precious little abandoned kittens in our yard. I scooped them up and took them to Petco to find out the best way to care for them. The kind lady there estimated their age to be about 4 1/2 to 5 weeks old. They are SO CUTE!!!!! Three little boys, yellow, grey and black tabbies. They had a mild case of fleas, so this afternoon I took them outside and gave them a bath in Dawn dishwashing liquid (at the suggestion of the Petco employee). All clean now. That stuff really does kill fleas!

Anyone want a FREE KITTEN?

This evening I am posting a card for the challenge at Joan's Touch, which requires us to use purple and white, distressed edges, something from nature and products that are sold at Joan's Gardens. Items printed in purple may be purchased there.

I don't have a distressing tool, so I tore the edges of the purple piece that is the background for the card. It was randomly stamped and brayed with purple ink to make it even more multi-toned, then it was run through at Spellbinders Whimsy EF and attached to the white cardstock base. This was a different effect from braying it with purple ink after it has been run through the EF. A piece of white tulle is knotted and placed along the bottom of the card; the rose is die cut from Spellbinders Spiral Blossom One using white paper with splashes of sparkly black, and the foliage is from a Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish die. The sentiment is printed in purple ink which was printed from my computer and a punch was used to round the corners, giving it a softer appearance. The butterfly is from a Memory Box Pippi Butterfly die; it was cut and then glued and glittered.

Here is the card:

The rose:

The glittery butterfly; it sparkles more than the picture shows:

Romans 10:9-11

If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. NLT
