Made for the Teapot Tuesday challenge MMTPT615. We were asked to make a uplifting card for Jean. She likes cats and the color green.
The green was easy, but I don't have a lot of cat stamps that aren't babyish. Good thing I have a stamp catalog or I don't think I would have remembered I owned this stamp. And after spending about 30 minutes prying it off the CD case it was stored in, I was happy to find out it still stamps perfectly despite it's age.

Sweet. I love the PB kitties (obviously, since my card was one of my very early stamp purchases. Rubber, luckily. I've had problems with my 12 Days of Christmas sticking to the backing sheet.) I like the way the butterflies and flowers seem to flow into one another, almost.

I love those Penny Black cats. They are always so happy and cheerful and this one is no exception. Great card to bring someone cheer. And, I'm glad it still stamped so well.

That P.B. image is adorable. Love your doodling around it and then offsetting it on the green panel. I like the little banners too. A wonderful card for Jean!

This is one of my all-time favorite images. I cannot help but smile when I see this absolutely delightful kitty playing in the flowers with a curious butterfly nearby. Your persistence in prying this stamp off the cd case yielded a wonderful card and one that is sure to delight Jean. ~Karen.

It's an adorable kitty! Yes, aren't stamp catalogs lifesavers? I could never keep track of all my stamps! Great job combining the sweet kitty and the nice green DP!
