Animals Theme With Hugs & Healings!
Welcome to Create With Stamping Friends Creatively Simple! Connie and I create simple cards with a theme each week and for this month, this is our theme:
I chose the Hugs & Healing stamp set for my simple card, because the animal images are adorable. I colored my kitty with Stampin’ Blends:
It’s always nice to have cards with animals for those that have pets. Unfortunately, our pets are like our children and when we lose one, the grief is real. This is the kitty I rescued from a local animal shelter and his name is Ozzie. It was so quiet in my home when my hubby passed away of cancer four years ago. I decided I needed the pitter-patter of little kitty feet and boy does he not disappoint!
The background was created with the Mini Corrugated Embossing Folder and I also stamped direct-to-designer-paper for the sentiment layer:
