I used to have a cat named Daisy, and this image from Starving Artistamps reminds me so much of her. She's been gone for almost 2 years, but I still expect her to pounce on me from behind the door or swat at my feet from under the couch. Half Maine Coon Cat and a calico to boot, she had quite the personality, that's for sure. Making this card reminded me just how much I miss her.I used a simple layout and soft colors so that the image would take center stage. Using Tattered Rose Distress Ink, I stamped the Cracked Tile Mosaic background on a piece of white cardstock and on my card base which I made from a piece of pink parchment cardstock. The Cat image is stamped with Chestnut Roan Fluid Chalk ink. I matted the image with brown cardstock and distressed the edges. The only embellishments I used were some dew drops and those only because I had just gotten them.

What a beautiful reminder of Daisy! I know one can really miss a pet that has "crossed the rainbow bridge." I lost my beloved Golden Retriever, Rusty, 5 years and a few days ago, and it still seems like he should be bounding around the house...and being terrified when it storms. I don't think I'll ever hear thunder again without thinking of Rusty, poor guy. we sure do miss him.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card.
Oh Donna...
ReplyDeleteI just lost my furry feline friend of 12 years, and I look for her every day. :( I know what you mean. THanks for sharing Daisy with us. *hugs*

Pets are part of the family and there is a big void when losing them. This card is beautiful. I love how the background is so soft.
