This card was a blast to make. I used the retired Safari BG stamp and the Paw Prints wheel for the background; I layered black ribbon between the two backgrounds. I colored the image with Lyra Pencils and blended with Gamsol (Lyra pencils use oil for the base versus wax); I reverse masked the background around the cat and love the results. I stamped just the word Friend from Long-Time Friends and embossed it in black at the bottom right, it doesn't show up well in the scan.

What a cute, cute card! Love the different backgrounds and the cat himself! I can relate since I have two cats who bring me presents! LOL

Love those loopy loops with the hemp! That cat is just the cutest thing and love the way you colored him and have that image and the black tilted a little! Super cute!!

This is soooooooo cute! I haven't seen this kitty but will look for him. I think I"d like this one. I have 4 inside cats and one feral cat that lives on my front porch. Fortunately, none bring me this kind of present....
