The cat that walks by himself

I was actually introduced to stamping by my daughter, who took it up when she was about 10 years old. Now she's in her thirties and lives overseas - and when she moved abroad about ten years ago she left a box of her stamping goodies with me for safe keeping. By then I had plenty stamping kit of my own, but her box contains some lovely stamps that I borrow from time to time.

This gorgeous cat is one of her stamps (if you're reading this, Fiona, I've cleaned it thoroughly and put it away carefully!) and is one of those stand alone images that is really so gorgeous that it doesn't need anything done to it, although if you look closely you may be able to spot that I've coloured in the eyes in that gorgeous golden-green that so many cats have in their eyes and finished them with glossy accents to give them that glow-in-the-headlamps gleam of a cat's eyes. I picked out the same golden-green for the matting.

    You're right about it being a stunning stamp Jane. It doesn't need anything else it speaks for itself.

    I adore cards and have two of my own. This is a gorgeous card, that stamp creates such great texture so you're right to let it speak for itself on this CAS design. Thanks for playing along at ATSM this week, Anita x
