So, just as with a human one, I decided to go down the simple and elegant route, using this very elegant cat stamp which is still on extended loan from my daughter. It's a Stampa Rosa stamp from 1996 called "Waiting for dinner".
I stamped it off the edge of the card - a pity to lose any of that glorious tail but it gave the balance I wanted - and stamped a sentiment and pawprint from my stash, then just added a tiny touch of colour for the eyes, nose, ears and shadow.

What a wonderful card Jane, it's a card I've never send, not received, but my guess is that some folks would appreciate one when they loose their pets who are so much part of the family. I love the cat image and your simple design, Kate x
ReplyDeleteLove this card, great colour and composition.
ReplyDeleteLovely card, sympathy cards are hard to make even if you don't know the person very well.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cat image, well balanced card, I'm sure the recipient will love it. I agree they are difficult to make.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous card - as a mad cat lady I would be so touched to receive a card if I lost one of my cats. Such a lovely detailed stamp too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning cat image! Love the look of this. The placement of the cat is absolutely perfect, this is a great design. Love all the white space. Thanks for joining us at Less Is More!

A wonderful card for a cat lover for any occasion, with a different sentiment.
ReplyDeleteYour stamp placement is spot on. I've never yet made a card for the loss of a pet but yes I can imagine they aren't easy. This is perfect. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Less is More, Anita x
