Hi! from the Cat's Meow

I made this card a while back, had forgotten about it and found it just in time for the #2020CatLoversHop that Janis from Her Peaceful Garden so generously creates every year!  I love all of the stamps and dies that Mama Elephant puts out; everything is just so darn cute and it was this set, The Cat's Meow, that got me hooked on Mama Elephant!!
 
 

I used a white card base and covered that with this very old sky background paper I have had for years - it's the kind of thing you don't pay much attention to until you need it and then it is SO handy.  I have quite a bit left so I don't think I will be running out anytime soon!   I stamped the cats out on Watercolor Paper {I use this}, colored them in with my Prismacolor pencils, die cut them and attached them to the front of the card.  Lastly I added the heart balloon and the Hi! sign.  Oh and I jazzed some of the kitties up a bit by adding my own spots, squiggles, circles and such.  I could literally just stamp and color this group of kitties for days; the image lends itself to  many types of coloring medium.

I hope you enjoyed my card and will take some time to check out the other kitty creations - who knew cat lovers where so crafty and artistic {well, truthfully *I* did, but I don't like to toot my own horn} Hugs! Christi
