Thank you all for your kind, comforting words to my previous post. Words help. Writing about my loss and reading your kind, supporting words helps.
I kept busy all day yesterday by doing housework and remembering the happy kitty memories. At the end of the day, I made another kitty card with the supplies I had sitting on my desk. It felt therapeutic. I’m glad I have cardmaking in my life.
While both of our kitties were pitch black, the cats I’ve been coloring lately are peach in color, I’ve actually been coloring my Mom’s cat. I used the same colors of markers as I did on my previous card: E51, E31, E33, E15, E37. I colored the gift green, to match the white embossed background, using YG03, YG17, YG67, and added a red bow colored using R20, R22, R24, R27, R39. This kitty image comes from Simon’s Feline Like Christmas Spinners set.
The background was white embossed using Simon’s Holiday Words Background, I embossed a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2″ panel and adhered it to A2 white side folding card base. Next, I added a die cut heart with the stamped kitty and sentiment.
I hope you are well. 2020 has been a difficult year and I hope 2021 brings joy into our lives.

So super cute!!
Soooo Cute!!!
This kitty is so cute and cuddly. There is something in card making that is therapeutic; isn’t there. I know 2020 has been much nicer and tolerable since I have been making cards and, thanks to you, glimmering. While the memories are fresh in your mind, I hope you take some time to make a little journal of your happy times with your kitties. In years to come it will be nice to read about them and remember clearly those happy/funny times.
