I used an adorable  Puppy's Favorite Things Clear Stamp Set and made a card for a very special boy ;-)


I coloured with Copic markers, cut him out and then put him to one side while I made the background. I die cut some Clouds from Masking Paper and positioned them onto some Watercolor Paper and then coloured with Broken China Oxide Ink. I then simply added a strip of designer paper for the 'meadow' and added a few Star Sequins to finish . 


and I finished the inside 



I am currently having fun on vacation in Budapest with my daughter Amy, a little girly trip, so I will get back to you when I am home! :-)

Art Impressions Cat Lady

Good Morning all, I hope you're all having a great weekend!

A challenge blog teamie is going through a pretty tough time at the mo' and I would just like to send her special Get Well Soon Wishes XXX  

I made a little kitty treat bag to share today! I have 9 cats (all were strays and just turned up starving, or were in need of a home and adopted from the SPCA) 2 of them have been having health issues and yesterday hubby and I spent the morning at the Vet Clinic with them. They aren't out of the woods yet but I thought it would be nice to make them a little treat bag to put some very special nibbles in there for them ;-) 


Now I know some of you will think I have completely gone off my rocker, but really, honestly, I am not a mad cat lady!!! 😜

I used a super cute Art Impressions Cat Lady Cling Stamp Set and a Lawn Fawn Goody Bag Die. I stamped the paw print background using a Furry Kisses Stamp Set and Watermelon Ink and used a LF Harold's Alphabet Stamp Set for the sentiment banner 


Thanks for looking!! :-) 

I receive a small commission on sales through my blog, this makes no difference to the amount you pay. I donate 100% of this to various charities, including SPCA Gozo, Birdlife Malta, Island Sanctuary Malta, Oxfam. every little helps xx Thank You
