I am on a blog break now and haven't had time to do any crafting. I made this card in the summer for a friend who lost her kitty. A tough card to make but hopefully it provided some comfort. I forgot to post it on my blog at the time, so I'm sharing it now.
The kitty is an older wood-mounted rubber stamp from The Stamp Barn, and I heat embossed it in white on black cardstock. I die-cut the black panel with Spellbinders Shapeabilities Scalloped Borders Two and affixed it to a white card base. I stamped the sentiment in black, and that finished the card.
I hope you head over to the Cat Lovers Hop and join in!
I would also like to join the following challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday AG 1/5
Simon Says Stamp Monday Throwback (I chose the April 16/14 challenge "Animal Antics") 3/5

Thank you for looking at my card! Wishing you a joyful day!

Kitty this is a lovely card. The image is so poignant. I'm sure your friend really appreciated that you understood how she was feeling.. A friend made a card for us when we lost our Maggy wagtail and it meant so much to us. I keep it out all the time in my craft cabin. Barbxx
