'As I write Mistress Minx is resting on the back of the sofa behind me you are never far from a feline in this house! So that is my challenge this time to you all please make anything you like in any medium or style but it must feature a cat or cats. Have fun.'
As a fellow cat lover I really enjoyed creating my card for this theme - I even managed to keep it Christmas !
I used various colours of distress inks on my craft mat and spritzed with water before smooshing a piece of coated card stock to create a patterned sheet which I stamped on with my cat stamp several times choosing areas I thought would make good cat markings. I created a reverse image for a bit of variation by rolling my brayer over the inked stamp and then rolling it on to the card stock. I created a distress inks background with masked moon, brick wall and flying Santa before adding the cut out cats, glamour dust and some white flower soft.
I wonder if Santa visits cats too....?
