Hello
Its been a week. A funeral service, a beloved pet passed, covid shot creating lots of lethargy, and still my vampire hours. The lethargy has now passed, and I feel capable of creating.
The cat belonged to our niece, they'd been together for almost 16 years. He was an orange cat and full of personality. I made a fairly simple card. Mostly die cutting and some embossing. I used Michele's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches as my starting point and will be adding my card to their gallery.
I cut an embossed panel and added some inking to make it stand out more; then found an embossed piece in my pile of embossed panels and the color was perfect. I triple cut the sentiment and stacked it. I tried tilting the sentiment, and my mind would not accept it. So I did go a little off book on the sketch. All the elements were added to a cream card base.
Thanks much for visiting.
