Birthday Kitty -- a New Release at Bugaboo Stamps

It's New Release day at Bugaboo Stamps today, and I got a chance to get inky with this one!
Tuesdays are always exciting at Bugaboo Stamps, and today is no exception -- it's New Release Day!  This new release is called simply Cat Silhouette, but there's nothing simple about it.  It has a world of possibilities!  Here's what I did with it:

I had lots of different ideas swirling around for this Cat Silhouette, but in the end, I decided to get out my distress oxide inks and play with them.  I made the blue background with 3 different colors of distress oxide inks, then colored the Cat Silhouette with 2 shades of pink/red distress oxide inks, fussy cutting her out.  I have a sister-in-law who's a real cat lover, so I made this card for her for her birthday.  A matching crinkle ribbon finished off the card.

You'll find other ideas for how to use this Cat Silhouette New Release on the Catch the Bug blog today.  Check it out! Then come back tomorrow for more inspiration, and the next day, and the next...you get the idea!

I'd like to enter this in the following challenges:
