I was in need of another cat sympathy card, this time for our niece on my hubby's side of the family. After my hubby's dad died our niece offered to take in his cat, and she had him for 7 more years, he was 10 when she took him in.
I hadn't made a shaped card in some time so I decided to make a circle card this time. I laid the die just above the fold line of my card so it would have a hinge to open.
I inked the background, cut the cat out of paper that looked like the multi coloring this cat had and added a die cut tree and leaves, and some butterfly stickers.
- Impression Obsession - Cat set die and Bare Tree die
- memory box - Grove leaves die
- Distress inks for background - Mowed Lawn and Tumbled glass
- Butterfly stickers
We actually have temps in the 80's this weekend. We are getting out and driving north where there isn't a chance of rain. Hope you all have some fun ideas for your weekend.
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by,
Connie

Beautiful and thoughtful. I love how the cat looks with the designer paper fur. Your niece-in-law will be touched. Connie, I thought of you first thing when I saw the news about all the flooding over that way. I realize you're not in Kentucky, but I was concerned it might get bad where you are, too. I'm glad you're okay.
Wow! Sounds like that cat had a nice long loving life! I adore your shaped card, it's perfect in every way! She will love that you have reached out with thoughts and prayers. We actually had a sprinkling of rain late Friday night, not nearly enough but a start! It's so dry here!
It's beautiful, Connie. I'm sure it brought comfort xoxo

What a sweet kitty card for your niece. That was wonderful she was able to take the kitty in when your hubby's dad passed. I am sure she will cherish this sweet shaped card.
