Inspired by a Song at the Crafter's Cafe

The Crafter's Cafe Challenge theme is Inspired by a Song. We're sponsored by The East Wind, SLS LinesLacy Sunshine, and DS4J.

I was inspired by the song "Stray Cat Strut" by the Stray Cats, and this "Rebel Alley Cat" digi stamp  from The East Wind worked purrfectly.

Following the song's lyrics, I made the cat orange & black with flocking. The base-card is a black, pre-embossed cardstock, but the teal & brick papers are dry-embossed with a Sizzix folder. The guitar is metal charm that I colored with a red enamel; I attached it with a star-shaped brad & Glossy Accents. The sentiment is inspired by the song as well.

Inspiration/Challenges:
Polkadoodles #8: Tic Tac Toe (Top Row: Charm, Animal, Sentiment)
Show Us Your Pussies: Lucky Kitty (this guy definitely has more than 9 nines!)
Wags 'n Whiskers #172: Furry Friends
WordArt Wednesdays: Anything Goes (3rd entry)

Thank you for visiting & hope you'll join us at The Crafter's Cafe,
