All About Hearts... and Cats

Hello everyone, it's time already for a new theme at Allsorts challenge. We have another fun optional theme this week and it's "All About Hearts". We'd love to see hearts included on your creations but you may share any of your new crafty makes for a chance to be entered into the prize drawing or be in the top 5.

For today's card I decided to go with one of the cute stamps from the set Penny Black set Jazzy Cats. It could be used as a Valentine's Day themed card but I went with non- traditional Valentines Day colors which I think makes it perfect for a male recipient who likes cats and music :)

I started out by stamping the image on Bristol Vellum paper, colored with Zig Clean Color markers then fussy cut. Inspired by this week's MFT sketch I wanted to use some patterned paper and found this green dotted paper in my box of scraps which I think coordinates well with the color of the piano.

I kept the card in a CAS design by just adding the sentiment and a few tiny die cut hearts cut out from a snippet of blue inked card which was really small enough to throw out but I rescued it, was going to pop it over to Snippets Playground, but afraid I'd be in the naughty corner as I've linked too many challenges below :) I thought about doing a little stenciling but the open space appealed to me so I simply inked the edges with Blueprint Sketch ink and did paper piercing along the left side before adhering to the card base. The sentiment is part of the same set Jazzy Cats, stamped on yet another snippet.
