I made this card to thank my neighbor for cat-sitting for my big Maine Coon cat, Tally. It was signed, Tally. I made a background page by stamping all over the white card stock. I cut the panel sizes lightly added shadow on the edges. Then I glued them to a gate-fold A2 card base. The center panel was white with the Cat and the "You are Pawsome" belly. I used the Katherine Label to cut the front design layered in black and white. The Thank You and hearts were die cut with Nuvo Crystal Glaze added for shine. Lastly, I added a pocked to hold the money.

That is such a great thank you card for your cat minder. I like your DIY DP. I'd love to meet a Maine coon. I've read a book about a rescued one and they did like a lovely cat.

That crystal glaze really makes those hearts pop! What a thoughtful card for your sitter. Though a Maine Coon cat is quite the cat! That is my 'someday' cat. Love your card!

Wow, I don't know which is more impressive -- the card or the dp you made for this card. I love your scattered images and it looks like printed dp for sure. Great card and an especially great card to thank your cat sitter.
