It's my 23rd wedding anniversary today so I have made my husband a card. Of course, I combined the need for a card with a challenge or two and decided to try the one layer challenge at Less Is More, where Fur or Feathers is the theme, and Cas-ual Fridays, where the team are asking for square shaped CAS cards.
Here it is
I found the little cat outline stamp at my local craft store and just had to have it. First I stamped a tiny red heart in the middle of the square then stamped the cat outline on the left. I stamped on acetate and transferred the image to give the mirror image for the ginger cat. I coloured the cats in using Promarkers and made up the sentiment from a couple of stamps. It did take a couple of goes to get it just right (especially getting everything well balanced) but I'm happy with it now... my husband will love the card and the fact that I made it for him, and that's the main thing!
What a wonderful job you did with the coloring on these cats! Fabulous card!
