Hugs and Kisses

Greetings! Here's my weekly project for Topflight Stamps. While I was away on vacation, the lovely Ericka filled in for me on Tuesday. This week my teammates and I are focusing on Katzelkraft's wonderful stamps. When I saw the Snakes KTZ315 Unmounted Red Rubber Stamp Set, I immediately thought "HISS!", which meant it would work wonderfully with all my Katzelkraft cat stamps. I decided to use a smaller cat from the Cats on Books KTZ295 Unmounted Red Rubber Stamp Set for this card.

Here's my card!
