I made this card for my mother-in-law. Blue is her favorite color, plus she loves kitties. I hope she will like it!

The letters are rubber-stamped. Even though I have one of those tools that helps you line up stamps properly, I still didn't feel confident enough to do it. I saw the idea of stamping and then cutting out letters in a rubber-stamping magazine. The kitty and accessries were also rubber-stamped, then colored in with chalk/marker, cut out, and mounted onto the same cardstock on which I stamped the letters.

Underneath it all is a plain ivory card on which I mounted a couple of different background papers that I felt looked well together.
