CAS479 = Pets (in honour of Adopt a Shelter Pet Day)
Since my dogs are not shelter dogs, I thought I'd honour the spirit of the challenge with a card with a cat on it. My Dad lives in a retirement residence and was very lonely after my Mum passed awy and then, a year later, his little dog passed away. We knew he was too old and frail to look after another dog so we talked him into a cat to keep him company. My sister went to an animal shelter and found a perfect 8 year old indoor cat who had lived with a senior before and needed a new home. My Dad adores her, despite telling us he wasn't a cat person. So I made this card with him in mind as she is black and very fluffy.
I stamped and watercoloured the cat, added a sentiment, framed it with a pierced frame die that I cut twice and glued together for a bit of dimension, and popped it up on fun foam.

Darling fluffy cat image! And the framing looks fabulous. Loved hearing about your dad and his shelter cat. My MIL had one in her late years and it gave her SO much companionship.

Gorgeous card and beautiful story behind it! I adopted a kitten accidentally last year from a shelter. I was a dog person before, she has me well trained as a cat servant now .
