Cats Galore

 Morning and I have two posts today -the first one is for our Small Critters/ATG challenge at A Place to Start. I went with small critters and used my cats head die-cuts in black cardstock that look like my eldest 14yrs old female cat who thinks she is in charge and even bullies my sons and daughters dogs. The dies were bought from a decluttering page so no idea whose they are, the full cat die is an XCut die and the layered die-cut frames are from Heffy Doodle(now closed), the little fabric covered wooden butterfly is from stash and had found quite a few I have had for years -probably from  The Works, script stamp was a craft mag freebie from years ago and the tiny flowers were the flower inners from a John Next Door die set. There are also individual whiskers with the die set but that was just taking things too far -then I forgot to add them with a pen! Ooops nearly forgot the sentiment was cut from one of my craft papers.


Please note if any challenges have digi images for prizes I am just playing for fun and support as I don't have a printer

A beautiful design, such a pretty die cut frame and those cats are really cute. We once had 3 cats, Florence -the black one- was tiny, the runt of her litter and could only digest baby food for months when we first got her- but boy, was she the boss! xx
Thank you for sharing another of your beautiful cards at Crafty Catz.

Purrfectly pawsome card and design

Lisa said...

The tall slimline layout works so well for this playful mix of peeking cats, and the crisp black die‑cuts against the white background give the whole design such striking contrast. The layered frames add great structure, and the little details like the butterfly and tiny flowers bring in just the right touch of texture. A wonderfully bold and charming celebration of feline attitude.
