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.

This is brilliant! I love the cross stitched look on the card and how wonderful to use your own needlework as your focal point! Kudos to you for your work with feral cats and finding them homes!

WOW! to both the cat rescue and how you created this photo. I'm not sure I'd even think of doing something like this, let alone know how to do it. I'm not too computer savvy. This is really pretty.

I missed this amazingly creative card last week. There is a special place in heaven for people who rescue animals! Love your computer work on this... you inspire us all on both counts!
