Egyptian Beauty

Hello Nomad friends.  It's the second of the month and time for the Card Chain Challenge Reveal.  The reveal is looking absolutely awesome, so many gorgeous cards.  Do hop over and check it out and leave some love for all the ladies involved.  We also have a post regarding our 15th Birthday.  Wow, 15 years of exchanging cards.  How amazing is that!!   

Anyhoo, here's the card I sent to Pia in Norway

I went with the colours, the sketch, the themes of Egypt and Paws and Friendship.  The central image is a postcard size rubber stamp I bought 20 years ago.  Rubber lasts forever.....   I was in a newsagents and they had some boxes of unmounted rubber for small money and I picked up a very mixed bag of large to small images.  I was so pleased to have a reason to get this beautiful stamp out again.  I haven't used it for ages.  The cats are Hero Arts Luna the Cat die cuts.   I also added a die cut hello.  

Hop over and check out the REVEAL

What a brilliant stamp Gail - so much detail in rubber IMO! Love that you were inspired by our quote at Time Out Challenges and great to see you in the gallery! Hugs, Kate (DT Time Out)!
