Blue Baubles and Cats

 Morning and I have two DT posts today-the second one is for Inspiration Photo challenge(chosen by Alyson) at  Dragonfly Dreams. We have Maxine as GD this month.


 

I have been dying to have a try at a technique I saw Tracy Evans using.I die-cut a circle in cardstock and used it like a stencil with distress ink,the foliage stamps are from Stampin Up and Pink Frog,sentiment stamp from Pink Frog too,die-cut cats were from a set I bought on a FB decluttering page.Really pleased how this turned out so made another one for a DT next month lol.


Any challenges with digi image prizes I amjust playing for fun/and support as no printer!

  5. That's a great idea to use the die cut for a stencil and the ornaments turned out great with those tiny bows, but those cats peeking in off the sides makes this one extra cute!
