There is this big furry gray cat in my neighborhood that seems to really like my yard. I find her in the flower garden, the vegetable garden, under the trees, sitting on the seat in my husbands old Triumph convertible, where ever it is dry and shined on by a patch of sun. So it seemed fitting to include that cat in one of my designs.
I have been playing with Art Impressions stamps and different mediums. For this particular card I used PanPastels for the sky and ground background and then stamped the leaves, grass and flowers with a variety of inks at my fingertips. Mostly I used Momento and Stampin Up Spots. I finished off the image using this week's Mojo Mondays sketch.
