Smudge and the Gang

 

I made this card earlier in the year but didn't blog it at the time- some recent cat-themed challenges have nudged me to post the photo. 

So, to recap on my life... in early January last year we'd agreed a sale on our house, ready to relocate to a new town, when the house we were buying fell through. We had to find quickly somewhere to rent but , unfortunately, couldn't find anywhere where we could take our cat, Smudge. Luckily, my daughter offered to foster him till we found a new house. That took a year! Now he's back with us and settled into our new home, This is the card I sent to my daughter to say thank you. 

The cats are one long stamp and I just had to add some markings and colour it in. The arms with the signs are stamped in afterwards and the sentiments stamped on the signs. Finally, I added some stamped splodges.

What a wonderful thank you card to your daughter! As someone who has had quite an ordeal moving last year, I can totally relate. All's well that ends well, right? Thank you for playing with us at the Alphabet Challenge. I hope you can join us again soon.
