Kitty Sympathy Card with Stamping Pals #14 Sketch

 My neighbor just lost her cat of 18 years so it prompted me to make her a pet sympathy card with retired Close to My Heart products (You Make Me Happy cat stamp, Charlotte Paper, Slate Card Stock, With Heartfelt Sympathy sentiment). I also used some current Close to My Heart products such as Scalloped Circle Thin Cut and Earth Brown Tri-Blend Marker and Coral Tri-Blend Marker. 

My card layout was inspired by this fabulous sketch from Stamping Pals sketch #14:
