Greeting cards

Hello everyone,

No Paraoh’s pet today but it is still about cats LOL.

I used for the time a stamp I bought one year and made some cards. I love this stamp, it represents a very close-up cat face but I cut it in 4 parts for the cards (I’ll have to use an uncut stamped image next time).

Here are my yellow, blue, red and green cats 🙂

I also made two other cards with alcohol and metallic inks.

Except the blue cat, they are all for sale in my Etsy shop. 🙂

See you soon for a new Pharaoh’s pet update 😉
