Puurrfect Day!

Hi, and welcome!

How are you on this bright and breezy Saturday, then?
I'm pleased to say it's a little cooler today, here in the North West of England.....thank goodness!
Still good for hangin' out the wash, because there's a lovely breeze......and I do like to have me smalls a little wind-blown...haaa!

It's not at all like me to be posting at lunch-time.......I usually have to wait until the evening to get on me little netbook, and have a chin-wag with you, but I've got a back-log of crafty stuff to get going on, so I need to plan time a lot better than I usually do......just sayin'.......

I'm not really one for making animal cards of any kind, but this kitty image was a freebie, and just tickled me, so I thought I'd give it a whirl........

I used a white card blank and layered up with Nitwits papers....love Nitwits!.......and chose pinks. browns and greens.....very restful!

I thought I'd try a bit of doodling around the edge of the image......good job doodling doesn't involve straight lines, haa.......and coloured up this little guy with Promarkers.......the brown lacy border is cut with a Martha Stewart border punch.........

The flowers are from docrafts and I added a piece of pink Card Candi in the centre with die-cut foliage in brown.......I saw these at The Range and they somehow fell into my basket...heehee....

Don't laugh at my attempt at doodlin' a sentiment........did 3 versions, and this was as good as it got....haahaa!
Do you like the little kitty?  If you'd like to grab a whole sheet of kitty-doings FOR FREE!, then here's the link
Just click on the DOWNLOADS tab at the top of the page......you'll find two versions of the freebie page.....one in black and white and a coloured version.........very cute!

Hope you have a great day!

Hugs,
Anne-Marie x

  15. Spooky - I just bought the mentioned magazine on Saturday (yes we are a little behind here)... my philosophy is to get lots of inspiration to cards and photos these days - which makes me a bit sad that I am still unable to craft.
    Love the card :o)
