Happiness is Cats

 Morning and first of May so three DT posts today-the second one is for the Cats/Dogs challenge at 

Pearly Sparkles.Now I may have gone slight overboard on the cats but not sorry in the slightest lol we have three black cats.The full cat die is an X-Cut the stamped cat is Mooch from Lavinia Stamps which was gifted to me in a card swap.The die-cut cats heads are all loose in a plastic bag and can't remember the make -yes should have written it on the bag but no need because I will remember-yer right !!!The little Robin(coloured with polychromos pencils) is an AALL&Create stamp,film strip stamp from Chocolate Baroque,stencil from My Favourite Things and the distress ink marks were a test made with some kind of plastic packaging.


 PLEASE NOTE IF ANY CHALLENGES HAVE DIGIS FOR PRIZES-I AM JUST PLAYING FOR FUN AND SUPPORT AS I HAVE NO PRINTER

Fabulous card Carol, super cute and you definitely have not gone over board on this one. I love the little peek-a-boo faces and the negative is a purrrfect base for your kitties to sit on Michelle x

Such a cute and fun card! I love all of those cats eyes peeking out from the edges! I think that one cat has a good eye on that bird perched on top! LOL the film strip and your background are very fun design elements too!

Cute and fun card! While the cats are the star of the project, I noticed a pretty brave bird perched at the top of the film strip. Thank you for playing with the All Occasion theme with the Krafty Chicks Challenge.

Great combination of elements to make a wonderful card for a cat lover. Thanks for joining us at Allsorts challenge.

Chris said...

Fantastic cat -themed card , love how you placed the die cuts in the film strip, the beautiful stencilled background. You've reminded me that I recently bought the Mooch stamp- haven't got around to using it yet, where does the time go! I'm a tad worried about that cute little robin- hope those cats are bird-friendly!

Leslie Miller said...

Oh, I love this! I never think to do such fun things with my Lavinia stamps. I would call this happiness for sure!

Miri said...

The little robin is such a cute detail on your cat card.
You've been a really busy crafter this week. Thanks for sharing another card with the Daring Cardmakers.

Suzanne Reynolds said...

How cute are all the kittens peeking around the borders and on the film. Fun including the red pop of a bird. Love your style, use of stenciling, stamping and the technique for the distress inking. Thanks for sharing your adorable and fun card with us at Double Trouble, Crafting Happiness and Critter Crazy.

This card is so cute. I love the cats fit street and the black/white color combo.

Heather said...

Nope, I don't think you went overboard with the cats! I have two black cats myself (along with 2 gray and 2 orange stripeys), so I think this is just perfect! Very cute and super fun! Thanks for playing with Critter Crazy Challenge.
