Garden Cat

Hello Nomad friends.   It's the second of the month so time for another awesome and amazing Card Chain Challenge reveal.  The Card Chain Challenge is an international card exchange.  Every month an ever changing group of very talented ladies, and the occasional bloke, make a card, send a card and receive a card.  Everyone gets a card, everyone wins.

This is the card I sent to Hilary in the UK.
This month I sort of went with the colours and used the themes of fluffy, funny and friendship.

All stamps are by Rubber Dance.  I started by stamping the cat on some white card and masking.  Then I stamped the pebble stamp from Mixed Media Marks #3 with Bluebird archival ink.  I stamped the curved ladder stamp from Pencil Marks #5 with Dandelion archival above the pebbles.  I actually stamped it three times, but didn't like that I didn't line it up so there were no gaps, so I decided to fussy cut the top of the first ladder and round the cat's head.  The cut offs didn't go to waste cos I used them for my sentiment panel, stamping the perfect friend sentiment from the Adore Me sentiment set.  Then I put it all together on a slimline base with a bit of pretty designer paper behind the cat.  A bit on neon orange gel pen for the eyes and done!

If you are interested in sending and receiving happy mail do check out the Card Chain Challenge

You still have time to SIGN UP for July

Thanks for dropping by.  I hope you have a wonderful crafty day.  Hugz

I’m feeding a neighbour’s cat at the moment while they away for a few days — she has exactly that attitude! Great card Gail, love the combination of background patterns and colours.

Love the ladder and bubble stamps you used here Gail - what a sweet cat with her orange eyes - so pretty with the floral paper above! xx

Beautifully done, Gail! Love the beautiful background you created for this gorgeous cat. Hilary is so lucky to have received this gorgeous card! Hope to join in CCC again in the fall (Summers always seem so busy with all the extra work needed done in the garden!)

Thank you so much for joining my Flora and/or Fauna theme with AG option at Allsorts challenge!
