I've been hoarding cancelled postage stamps since forever. There is a challenge group in PAT 29 that requires using postage stamps in the design. Having a sizeable collection of cat rubber stamps, I knew there was one with a cat in a chair similar to the one on the postage. My inspiration comes from this chair in the Basset collection: http://www.bassettfurniture.com/Pier...ir-DZ32786.asp. I used colors from the postage in my design. I used a gold Krylon pen the color the bird and crown embellishments.

Cats were considered god's in ancient Egypt - seems they never forgot that. So it's not out of the realm of possibility that one might be a king! Great inspired card!

I can see why you had a hard time letting this one go.
The kitty stamp couldn't be more perfect.
I love the colors in this and so spot on
to match the postage.
You nailed this one -as all of your postage themed ATC's!
