This card uses a stamp image that I bought at a stamp expo. This is one of those photo type stamp images. I find inking these with a brayer seems to be the best way to get good coverage. Than you stamp and tint with your colors using sponges and soft applicators. I used the colors from the background paper. That paper has some French Script on it although I don't know how much is visible. I thought it was funny to mount this with the birds. I can almost see this cat thinking, "They have me sitting on this stupid cushion when there are birds to stalk!"

Love the combination of the birds on the paper with your cat image - they look as if they are looking at him wondering what planet he is from! I love the decorative accents holding the cat panel to the base.

This is such a pretty vintage card. Love that little cat stamp and the design paper is beautiful. Don't think the birds have anything to worry though as the cat looks like it is enjoying the luxuries of that lovely plump cushion and isn't about to leave it any time soon.
