This fortnights theme was chosen by Rachel at Fisher's Cards and Crafts.
This is a hard theme for me as I am not very funny! My husband is the humourous one in our family.
Luckily, I do have a couple of funny looking images so was able to fill the brief!
My card today features a very old (2008) Fluffles the Cat Christmas stamp. It is an old wooden stamp and it always amazes me how well rubber stamps hold up over the years.
My design is made up of snippets. The Christmas light background paper is a snippet of 12x12 scrapbook paper, leftover from a layout. It has long lost the identifying manufacturers edge.
The three green holly print fish tale banners are from another 12x12 snippet, again unknown.
I used a Wonky Stitched Rectangle die by Scrappin Cottage to cut out Fluffles. I then added a plain red mirri card mat. I will add the die manufacturer later as I am not in my craft room at the moment. The image was coloured with pencil crayons and gamsol. Wink of Stella was added to the image quite liberally. A trio of green rhinestones finished off this card.

Your card is adorable....I think I have this image....somewhere. It's a goodie. It reminds me that I should pull out some of the "old" stuff that is still so cute. It reminds me of my cat that used lie on the branches and that's why we stopped putting up a tree. He is no longer with us so considering a tree again, lol.
Hi Mo

Stay safe

A gorgeous card Maureen, reminds me of the cat that we had when we were kids. It used to attack the tree every year and regularly got tangled with the tinsel.
Hope you are both well
Take care and stay safe

I remember fluffles and he's still as cute as ever, caught up in the tangles of Christmas decorations! Great use of those snippets! I read your last comment on my blog and I can relate. My husband also has diabetes and suffered a stroke a few years ago, so trying to get his insulin and testing supplies is a real challenge these days as we now have to walk twice as far to get to the pharmacy with all these in/out restrictions thrust upon us. I try to stay positive but it isn't easy anymore - this has gone on far too long!
Take care and stay well, and I'm trying to do the same :)
Cute card! Love the image!
Have a great day!

Fabulous card and a brilliant fun image Maureen, poor kitty hanging on for dear life, brought a smile to my face, Kate x
That is so cute! Great use of snippets.
This is what my cats would look like if I let them have at it on the decorations. Poor kitty looks so funny hanging there.

Love this card Maureen and this is so typical of cats getting themselves stuck in situations where their curiosity has won over.

I nearly gave up on making a humourous card but then I found a recycled card with cats on which saved th4 day. I like this cute little kitty. Hugs Mrs A.
