Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper August challenge

This is my design card for my Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper August challenge - please click on the link to see the lovely crafting of my team and we hope you will join in with your entries, using some of your pattern paper in whichever way you wish.

I made the card recently for a friend who has a lovely big ginger cat. The background paper is from PDA Card and Craft.

For my card I used SLS lines lazy house cat, coloured with spectrum noir pens and die cutting using a dogo die, using a smaller one for the printed greeting. Both were brushed with brown corduroy distress ink. A piece of grosgrain paws ribbon was used for the 'stopper' for the easel upright.
