For the F4A challenge, the thing that you do: for 19 years my DH and I rescued feral cats, had them spayed/neutered and found them homes - 43 success stories. I also like to do cross stitch. This kitten face is a pattern that I reduced, added a frame (on my PC), reverse printed on a transparency sheet, and cut out.
Edit: My FAVORITE other thing to do is bird photography, and old photo restoration. Couldn't figure out how to get them on a card.
For the MIX22 challenge: The cat was layered on top of a cream mat that I stenciled with distress inks. Stamped the sentiment and heat embossed with gold.

Priscilla.....I absolutely love your 'hobby'. My DH is impressed also. Good for you both. Your card is just incredibly creative and such a clever way to reflect your two hobbies!!
When I was around 16, my best friend cross stitched me a kitten sitting on a pink pillow. It has been hanging on my bedroom wall every since (through numerous moves). TFS!

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?

This card is a fabulous mix of your interests! I used to do a lot of x-s but then stamping took over (and my eyes have a hard time seeing the x-s canvas!). You should feel very good about your rescue work..what a wonderful thing!
