Hello! There are only hours left of this years
Cat Lovers Blog Hop, so I made this
Peeking Cat Hello Card to honor our middle cat. We adopted him five years ago and for the first year we thought it was a big mistake. Previously he was adopted as a kitten from our vets office then he was returned at five months old. The owners said they couldn't take care of him due to a death of a family member. The poor boy was evidently left alone a lot and had severe separation anxiety. He was a challenge, but we knew if we gave up on him it would break his spirit. Now, five years later he is the most affectionate cat we have and we couldn't image life without him. He just needed time to adjust to all the changes! There are days he is still a little crazy but he is so loveable it makes up for it.💚
Last year I saw a card using the Feline Curious image by Stampendous! and I knew it would look great colored like him (photos below). Although I've been hesitant to use it because coloring with black Copic markers is a little intimidating, but I think it turned out okay. Once the image was colored I fussy cut it and adhered it flat to the plaid and woodgrain paper. The sentiment is from the Pretty Kitty stamp set by Stampin' Up!. That's it! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!
