No stamping at all on this card - I made it for my Daughter and Son-in Law, Sarah and Dom's 5th Anniversary which was a few weeks ago.
I began with the square of white card from my bits box and used a circle stencil to ink through with various Distress Inks to give the appearance of a night sky. I had also added the small circle mask before I started inking, for the moon. I spritzed with glimmer mist, dabbed with some kitchen roll then removed the stencil and the mask and added some yellow ink to the moon. I cut the stars from a scrap of yellow card using a Mama Elephant die then added these and the blue layer of card and glued to my Kraft card base. As the fifth anniversary is signified by wood, I thought these two wooden cats would be perfect along with the little wooden hearts so I added them with Cosmic Shimmer glue. I am pleased to say, Sarah and Dom liked it!

your card its so nice!
Aww, Lulu is lovely and she and Lucky are together in kitty heaven. Such a sweet anniversary card. They look like they still have stars in their eyes for each other. Brilliant using the wooden kitties and heart for the 5th. xxD dlmundinger(at)yahoo(dot)com USA

What a lovely picture of Lulu. It's good you have it to remind you of her.
Your card is lovely, Chris, and it was such a clever idea to use the wooden cats and hearts to highlight the significance of wood at the 5th anniversary.
I have enjoyed catching up (I always seem to be behind at the moment!). Thanks for your visits and comments. Jx
Absolutely gorgeous card Chris! What delightful cats Lulu and Lucky were - they do bring such a lot of joy into our lives. I would adore a little dog here but most likely it won't happen - I don't do hands and knees cleaning up after little accidents without a lot of difficulty and doubt if I could train a doggy to do that. Sigh. I do hope you're feeling somewhat better honey.

Ah, Lulu is such a beautiful cat, I just love her colouring.
Love how you did the sky on your card and the wooden cats make such a great focal point! A really beautiful card Chris. Hugs, Anne xx
What a love story about how much you loved your Lulu and Lucky. I'm so sorry you can't have any more as you obviously would it. Your anniversary card for Sarah and Dom is, well, the cat's pajamas, Chris!! I love your inking and those romantic wooden cats!! Hugs, Darnell
What a sweet anniversary card. I like the wooden cats and hearts.

Beautiful card, Chris. I love cats!!!
Your anniversary card is gorgeous! I like to make kitty anniversary cards too. So sorry about Lucky and Lulu, I know you must miss them terribly.
I know exactly how you feel with your angel cats, they are forever in our hearts. Its a lovely tribute to them, to show them on your blog and speak about how you feel. Lovely card.. gorgeous colourings. Hasn't the hop been great! See and learn so many new things!
Our cats leave memories on our hearts. Lulu was a beautiful "lady." :) I also like your "non-stamped" card. Made a very nice anniversary card. :)

What a lovely card with those wooden cat icons and starry sky. Love the gorgeous photo of you sweet kitty too.
Your Lulu looks so lovely Chris and I know you must miss her a lot (I still miss our beautiful Poppy the rabbit who we also lost 8 years ago).
Your card is lovely, so simply elegant and the 2 pusses are so cute.

Cute scene you have created on your card.
Thank you for joining us at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge this week. Jo x
Such a pretty card, love your inky sky to compliment your cats. Thank you for sharing and joining us at Bizzy Becs for our Anything Goes Challenge.
Lulu is gorgeous, too! She was perhaps a little haughty because she was jealous of Lucky's adorably black-splotched nose! :)
What a clever anniversary card using the wooden cats for the wood anniversary. Love that fabulous night sky!!
Thank you so much for joining in the #CatLoversHop2017!

How sweet - great for an anniversary. Funnily enough, I used a very similar idea (not cats) this week to make an anniversary card for my sister. ( I promise I didn't copy!) . I'll be posting it later.
Commenting once again on this lovely card to say CONGRATULATIONS on being a lucky winner over at the Playground! Doing a Happy Dance for you, Chris!!!
