Purrfect!

It's Tuesday which means it's my day to share a project created for Topflight Stamps.  I was feeling a bit overwhelmed when a project totally went south twice, so I fell back on the tried and true adage, "When in doubt, CAT using a variety of stamps, stencils, and ink."

So here's my card.
