Sometimes it does us all good to step out of our comfort zone and try out another creative style, right? I have to say I was soooo far away from my comfort zone that we weren't even within waving distance, but boy, did I ever have fun!
This gorgeous creature is the Curious Cat from Rubber Dance. For anyone not familiar with this stamp company, this is a Norwegian stamp company with a growing collection of beautiful, fun, and arty images. All the deeply etched red rubber stamps are lovingly handmade by the owner Bibi in her home based workshop and sold unmounted. Bibi has generously provided Curious Cat, which will go to one lucky blog reader who leaves a comment on this post over at The Card Chain Challenge blog. A big thank you to Bibi for acting as our sponsor this month, your kindness and generosity is much appreciated.
I really love this stamp, and I knew straight away that I wanted him to look as if he was appearing out of the undergrowth after an hour or two of footling around - such a cat thing to do!
I'm linking-up to the current challenge at Rubber Dance, which is a gorgeous palette of green, rust and magenta. Turns out that I don't have any rust coloured ink in my stash, so I opted for a deep orange as the nearest colour match I could achieve.

Gorgeous Jo. Love how you coloured the cat and those pretty white highlights. The black foliage at the front and the light background really makes this glow. Love that leafy branch that has got on his head. Such a fun detail and oh so cat!! Thanks for joining the Rubber Dance challenge. Hugz
