Good Morning everyone.
Today im sharing a little CAS thank you card i made for my new cat sitter who looked after my furry gang while I've been away on holiday. All being rescues they all have various 'issues' but the wonderful lady did a marvellous job looking after them and my 6 hedgehogs.
Teal 5.5x5.5" square cardbase. I die cut a square of white card which has punched holes around the edges. I then stamped my cat stamp using a multi colour ink pad, using my stamp platform i was easily able to build up the ink to give a nice solid silouette. I then stamped my sentiment with the same ink pad. I then splashed on some of the ink to add interest to the background.
A close up on my kitties, i had also used a blue fineliner and a ruler to add a line under the cats so that they aren't floating in midair.
Showing my insert, i used another of the Katzelkraft cat stamps and a thank you stamp and the same ink pad. This stamp always reminds me of my little terror Suki, she so doesn't like people so digs in well if one has to pick her up, luckily after 4 patient years she is pretty good with me. Suki is very much a free spirit coming and going through the cat flap to suit her.
Items Used:
Katzelkraft cat solo stamps 'Katz04&Katz02'
Stampin up curly cute sentiment stamp
Stampin up sassy salutations sentiment stamp
Tattered Lace square dies
Ink pad - Kaleidacolor - caribbean Sea
Payper box teal cardstock
CraftUK ltd smooth water card
I had a good holiday, although we had some rain most days much the same as back here in Cornwall but that didn't stop us getting out and about. Now im back i must really get into Christmas cards seriously. Thank you all for stopping by once again. Emmax

I love the way you have used the ink pad on the stamp. I also have this stamp and must use it more often. It is a purrfect card for your cat sitter, I am pleased all went well with her and your furbabies. Sorry about all the rain for your holiday, but you are used to wearing flippers in Cornwall :)

Oh my goodness! What sweet kitty stamps inside and out! I love the ombre effect you've created with the inks. It's a darling card, and I know your kitty sitter will thoroughly enjoy it! So glad I got to see your critter project showcased at the 2 Crafty Critter Crazies Challenge. Hope to see more of your creations in the future.
