My card:
Oh look! I added a cat to the design. At first I had trouble with this sketch, since I don't have a lot of big bold sentiments. Luckily, I did have this die cut from Emily that was just right. For the background, I was inspired by this technique. I sponged and blended three shades of distress ink before water-stamping with a newsprint background to get more of an abstract, textured look than actual images. While it was still wet, I spritzed it with some glimmer mist, just for fun. This close-up almost shows the shimmer...
And the cat? I wanted a small critter to contrast with the giant sentiment, and I like the way he appears to be photo-bombing the layout. :D
Hope you'll stop by again tomorrow for the unveiling of the latest Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers challenge!

I love the effect you've achieved with the background technique. And who knew you like cats? lol!
Adorable!!!!!! I love the photo-bomb! And the background stamping over the distressed background? STEALING!!!!!
Thanks for playing CSSC!
So cute Lindsey! Love the background.
Works brilliantly - what a super card! Jo x
Wait, a cat? That's unexpected :P That background is freaking amazing - and the cat totally makes this card!
Love the background. And I do agree with the cat. He just seems to fit so well, like he's popping up to say... well, Hello. Which I'm sure Duncan would be doing (or has done) during your creating/posting.
I want this!!!! The background is gorgeous and that cat is so darn cute! And you're right - he's totally photo bombing! LOL! How's your kitty doing these days?
I really like the blues and the texture in your background as well as that huge happy hello!
