Merry Christmas from the Cat

It's Tuesday which is my day to share a project created for Topflight Stamps! This week my teammates and I are showcasing stamps and products by Crafty Individuals. Since I'm a crazy cat lady, I opted to use the Bob the Cat Unmounted Rubber Stamp #612 by Crafty Individuals as my focal image.

Here's the card!
