Sketch Saturday #46

This card is made using the fabby sketch this week on Sketch Saturday. I wasn't sure about it at first as thought there would be too much on the card but then thought if I used card put through Cuttlebug using swirls folder and sanded the top it would match but not detract from the scrummy image or papers. I masked stamped the girl with a cat as I thought she needed some company as looked lonely LOL.

Hope you likey :)
