I got this kitten stamp last year, and really love it! Of course, I'm thoroughly a cat person anyway, so anything feline I'm generally all over. I stamped it in the corner of a white A2-size cardstock panel with Tuxedo Black ink. I colored it (to look like our youngest, Barney) with my Prismacolor pencils, using Gamsol on paper stumps to blend out the colors & create shading. Finally, I used a black glaze pen to darken up the pupils in his eyes, and a white gel pen to add the catch lights.
I thought this greeting went perfectly with this pensive pussycat, and stamped that nestled around the holly in his hat with Tuxedo Black. I used my MISTI for that, so I could double-stamp it and get a nice dark impression.
After I'd finished everything to this point, all the white space at the top just bothered me. So I ended up die cutting with a border die, and backing that area with patterned paper from my scrap stash. I feel much better about the design now!
