As soon as I saw this stamp at Newton's Nook, I knew it would be coming to live in my stash. I actually purchased it within hours of it becoming available. I am sending my Dad a card a week until I visit him and he loves the cat cards. I mostly try to color them to represent Digger and Jack.
I stamped the stamp twice, colored it and fussy cut both. On the second stamped image, I cut only a portion to vary the look. I can't send just one cat! I found some perfect Lawn Fawn paper for the background. I also traced over all the lines with a black marker once it was colored. It gives such a crisp image. I love keeping the paws white, and I colored them with a white gel pen when everything else was done.
September is my blog anniversary month, and often the month I visit my Dad during the fall. I get to see him and my girlfriends and visit a few of my old stomping grounds. I will pre-post some cards while I am visiting since my card making supplies will be very limited.

Have a wonderful visit with your father and friends! What a sweet card!
Love that image. My cat has just discovered the laundry basket. He's used to sleeping in the clothes piled on the bed, though. Oh, wait, did I just admit something I shouldn't have? ;/
Have a good visit with your father and friends!
There are so many fun colors and patterns going on here I don't know what to admire first! This is just darling!
OH, Cat, this is SO adorably sweet!
Your dad will enjoy receiving this darling card.
ENJOY your visit with your dad & friends.
Have a wonderful trip, Cat! I may be in California some of the same days you are--glad the hubby's can hold down the fort. Oh my--your dad is going to smile big time when he sees this adorable card! Love everything about it--very creative!
I apologize...I've really gotten behind on my visits! This is absolutely darling, Cat! Beautiful coloring, and I love your choice of patterned papers for the background!
I hope you're having a lovely time with your dad...and a great time visiting your 'stomping grounds; :)
