Hi, Friends.......I am so honored today to be a Guest Elf over at Dottie Jo's Christmas Kickstart Challenge #3. Jo asked me a few weeks ago to be her guest for the theme of "Festive Felines". How could I resist??? 🐈
One of the sweetest stamps in my entire collection is this long-retired one called "For Santa" from All Night Media. I don't even remember now where I got this one, but I have had it for decades....and I do not get it out nearly often enough! (One thing I like to do as a personal challenge with Jo's Christmas Kickstart themes is to use neglected stamps in my collection that get don't get much ink. So this was the natural choice for this fab theme!)
I went with soft baby colors and tattered edges for a shabby rag-quilt look. I really love how cozy this sweet kitty looks.

ReplyDeleteFirst, your little kitten picture at the top it so cute! I have a little stripey girl that looks very similar to that kitty, and I can totally picture her trying to sleep on something like that. Second, your card is adorable! That is definitely a sweet image and I love the tattered effect you created! Thanks for playing with The House That Stamps Built.
