My Dad lives in a retirement residence and was very lonely after my Mum and then, a year later, his little dog passed away. We knew he was too old and frail to look after another dog so we talked him into a cat to keep him company. My sister found a perfect 8 year old indoor cat who had lived with a senior before and needed a new home. My Dad adores her, despite telling us he wasn't a cat person. So I made this card with him in mind as she is black and very fluffy.
I stamped and watercoloured the cat, added a sentiment, framed it with a pierced frame die that I cut twice and glued together for a bit of dimension, and popped it up on fun foam.
Be back tomorrow with another Christmas card for another challenge - thank you to all of you who run Christmas challenge blogs as you keep me motivated!
