A clean and simple challenge anything goes + Christmas Pets in July challenge is the task with the AAA Cards Challenge blog. I have a lot of snowmen, reindeer, fox and bear stamps but it took awile to find a pet stamp. I finally found this mounted red rubber stamp probably from one of the big box stores in my neighborhood. The stamp is makred as Rubber Soul and “Cat with Stockings and Cap” and then a sentiment for my cat with stockings and cap??? Well the only thing I could think of was this Ho Ho Ho from Katie & Co which I’m quite sure came out of AC Moore’s dollar bin.
After stamping and coloring kitty cat, giving him green socks and a red cap on that tail, I had a circle stencil that I used to lightly blend some green ink around him. I did have this polka dot paper on my desk that I had a circle die cut from it and decided to put it to use as a layer for my focal image. Still clean and simple and a pet and Christmas in July, challenge accepted.
Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care, stay cool and be safe.

So cute! Love the hat on the tail.
Thanks, Lisa.
Cute. Knowing cat personalities they’re more likely to put the hat on their tail than their head.
Lol, Judy, very true about cats.
Your circle is the perfect touch to ground you image and yet stick to the CAS.
Thanks, Bonnie.
This is hilarious! Those polka dots around the edge are a fun touch. Someone is going to really enjoy getting this card.
Santa hat on the tail is hilarious. I agree the circle is a perfect touch.
Thanks, Gerry.
Cute card! Love the colors you chose, and that polka dotted background looks great with the green.
This one made me smile. I just love that cat and the hat on its tail. I too think the polka dotted background looks great peeking out at the sides.
Thanks Johanna, you know how I struggle with CAS but hopefully that extra layer is ok.
This is simply adorable. Love the sweet image you picked with hat on the tail for the challenge. Great way to keep the card CAS by highlighting the image with the inked circle. Thank you for joining us with this lovely card at AAA cards. Hugs ~ Ishani
Thanks for the challenge.
Fun CAS card – as if a cat would wear any of it for long enough to take a pic! Thanks for joining us for our challenge at AAA Cards 🙂
